For the Swedish Sea Rescue Society's Eyes on Scene (EOS) project, we designed an interface to assist a drone operator monitor several drones in different locations simultaneously.
A particular focus was on creating a clear overview of several drones, so that the user can keep track of the most essential parameters, while still being able to easily direct their focus on one specific flight.
To ensure a comprehensive application, we worked carefully with accommodating different levels of detail, available at different destinations in the interface.
Methods used to achieve this result included interviews and a workshop with the prospective user group, followed by in-depth analysis using affinity diagrams and a predictive use error analysis, qualitative usability testing, and made several iterations along the way.
Low-fidelity
The initial lo-fi prototypes (top row) were presented to the prospective user who then expressed concerns about information overload. This led us to work more with levels of detail, allowing the user to overview a higher level of detail to monitor multiple flights, and when required finding a lower level of detail for one specific flight in tabs.
