Immersive Design
Samsung PRISM Project: One Avatar, One World
Designed an inclusive VR avatar-based communication system aimed at improving interaction for deaf and mute users.
Year :
2024
Industry :
Electronics
Client :
Samsung R&D Institute Bangalore
Project Duration :
6 weeks
About Samsung PRISM:
Samsung PRISM is an initiative by Samsung R&D Institute Bangalore aimed at fostering innovation by collaborating with students and academic mentors to explore cutting-edge XR technologies and avatar applications within Samsung’s ecosystem.
SAMSUNG BRIEF:
Avatars are key for self-expression and virtual communication, extending a user's identity. XR offers unique possibilities like depth, 3D interaction, gestures, and multi-modality. This project explores concepts of novel use cases for Samsung Avatars in XR, connecting them with the Samsung app ecosystem (e.g., notifications, lock screen, core apps). The goal is to enhance user experience by integrating avatars beyond mobile, into the immersive XR space.
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Despite the availability of avatar features in Samsung devices, many users remain unaware or underutilize these capabilities, especially within immersive XR environments. The project focused on enhancing user engagement by integrating avatars more deeply and inclusively, with special attention to bridging communication gaps for diverse user groups.
CONTRIBUTION & PROCESS:
Conducted extensive user research and stakeholder interviews to understand current challenges and opportunities around avatar usage in XR.
Developed multiple concepts addressing accessibility, personalisation, and seamless integration of avatars across Samsung’s XR platforms.
Iteratively prototyped solutions emphasising real-time interaction, expressive communication, and intuitive user experience.
Collaborated closely with Samsung mentors to align design goals with technical feasibility and user needs.
The process followed a user-centered design methodology including empathizing, defining, ideating, prototyping, and delivering within a six-week timeframe.
CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE:
This project was conducted under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with Samsung. Details beyond this summary are confidential.
