This week was a really foundational one for the new smart glasses companion app project. It kicked off with a great meeting on Monday with my Mentor and colleagues from the UI Design department. We reviewed several proposals for the app’s core structure, and I’m thrilled that my proposed design solution was selected as the foundational framework for the project!
Following that decision, I spent the bulk of the week diving deep into developing the core Product Requirements Document (PRD). This mainly involved defining the top-level information architecture. We’ve settled on a clean, user-centric bottom tab bar that splits the app into three distinct zones: an AI-driven hub for intelligent feeds, a dedicated device control center for real-time management, and a discovery section for user onboarding and support.
I also got to detail the functionality for key modules, like an interactive 3D model for device status, and refine some complex interaction patterns, like a “split-button” control center for dual-function controls (a quick toggle vs. a deep-dive into settings). A lot of thought also went into mapping out all the critical user states, like what the user sees when the device is connected, offline, or being set up for the first time.
It was definitely a week of heavy documentation and architectural thinking. The immediate next step is to consolidate this PRD and get all the materials ready for the big design and technical review next week. Feeling good about the solid base we’ve built.
