Experience the future of material handling
Intralogistics is an HoloLens app to learn the power of digital twin simulation and mixed reality visualization.
A tabletop scale digital twin shows a clear overview of the automated warehouse in operation. The user can also change the layout to see the simulated impact on efficiency. The user can also walk around in the life-size projection to inspect the new layout.
Inclusive UI – Gaze-Timed button
Most users are new to HoloLens. The 'air tap' gesture (clicking) was complicated to learn within a few minutes. So we came up with the idea of a 'long press' button, commonly found in video game UI. Instead of pressing it, our version was to 'look' at it for several seconds to activate. We optimized the usability (duration, placement, and size) with several rounds of user testings.
Story design with balanced highlights
It needed to be a simple story and limited to 3 minutes, including onboarding. Even with this short experience, the story could be flat and less engaging. We carefully refined the scenario and balanced out the 'wow' moments throughout the experience.
Great result
The experience with HoloLens attracted many curious audiences. Despite the waiting queue, we have managed to demonstrate more than 150 users per day. Thanks to the short turnaround of onboarding time.
On top of general business audiences, it was also a good inspiration for the young visitors. A great bonus made us happy.
