User Interface and User Experience
7 Weeks
Spring 2024
The goal of this project is to develop an intuitive and secure ID app that changes the way users manage their identification documents. My aim was to provide a comprehensive digital solution that simplifies the process of storing, accessing, and verifying identification documents, thereby enhancing convenience and security for users in their everyday lives.
In today's digital age, the need for secure and convenient methods of identification management has become increasingly essential. As society transitions towards a more paperless environment, traditional physical identification documents are being replaced by digital alternatives. And so we have decided to embark on a project to create an ID app.
The traditional method of carrying physical identification documents poses several challenges in today's digital landscape. Users often encounter difficulties in accessing, managing, and verifying their identification documents, leading to inconvenience and potential security risks. Furthermore, the proliferation of digital services and transactions necessitates a seamless and secure method of identity verification. Therefore, the need arises for a comprehensive solution that allows users to digitize and manage their identification documents effectively while ensuring security, accessibility, and ease of use.
Creating a user-friendly and secure Digital ID App required thoughtful UI/UX design, balancing ease of use with robust functionality. Here’s an overview of the design principles and features integrated into the app. Minimalist Aesthetic, The app’s interface employs a clean, minimalist design with a focus on essential elements. This ensures users can navigate without distractions. Consistent Branding, Colors, typography, and iconography are consistent throughout, creating a professional and trustworthy appearance. Intuitive Layout, Information is organized in clear sections, such as “My IDs,” “Share ID,” and “Settings,” ensuring users can quickly find what they need. Visual Feedback, Animations and micro-interactions, such as subtle button highlights and loading indicators, provide immediate feedback to user actions.
Using a combination of a spring-loaded lever and a rack and pinion mechanism, we successfully moved the rotary encoder by translating jaw movements into rotational motion. We found that the main tension point had to be positioned between the jaw and gear, with a sturdy yet flexible structure to withstand this tension while allowing enough jaw movement and adaptability to different face shapes.
