Case Study
Creating an interactive display for two different user groups.
Kindermann • 2021/22
Challenge
Kindermann touch displays are used in offices and schools. They are used wherever users want to present interactively or work together with others on a digital whiteboard. Defining a ux concept and design system which suits both worlds was quite challenging.

Result
We created an intuitive and high-quality user interface design for the new generation of Touchdisplays. From the analysis of the user groups and usage environment, the competitive research to the support of the implementation, we comprehensively managed the project. Thanks to the agile way of working, we were able to achieve optimal results quickly.
1
Design system for further software development of the familiy.
~20%
Saved time in handling apps in meetings or school lessons.
2
Different and managable UI Themes for different user groups.
Research and competitive analysis
User groups and competition analysis is one of the first tasks that occupied us in this project. This resulted in initial requirements and needs of both user groups. The requirements come from the main use cases business meetings and education.
Fast sketches for fast iteration
Thanks to the agile way of working, we were able to achieve optimal results quickly. Rapid prototyping was one of our most important tools in the design process of new user-friendly interfaces.
Detailed concepts and wireframes
"We are not the user" - Low- and high-fidelity prototypes were continuously tested internally and with real users. The resulting findings flowed directly back into new concepts and revised prototypes. We also built cardboard prototypes to make our ideas more tangible and easier to imagine.
Interface design with two different looks
For the design we thought of two different styles to serve both user groups. Minimal and modern design were the cornerstones for the specification. The developed style will also be used for future applications.
Learnings
In love with sketches
Especially in the earlier stages, it is super important to sketch out initial ideas. This lays the foundation for further work.
Missing field visits
We missed some field visits in the beginning of the analysis. So we needed to change some functionalities which came up as pain points in the usablity testings. Never miss them again!
