Unfortunately, due to NDA restrictions, I am unable to fully share the entire project and final results from my internship at the Opportunity Tech Lab. However, this case study outlines the background of the project, my design process, and the key achievements made during the internship. As a UI/UX design intern, I was involved in an assistive technology project aimed at enhancing accessibility in virtual reality experiences. My tasks included user journey mapping, visual research, wireframe drawing, prototype design, and iterative design optimization. Here are some brief notes about the work I did during this time —
Researched sensory considerations that may affect individuals with intellectual disabilities during VR experiences, including brightness, colour, and visual intensity, while analysing support staff workflows to identify critical moments requiring rapid access to information and intervention controls.
Based on researches, I developed user journeys, interaction flows, and wireframes to explore information hierarchy, visibility of critical controls, and strategies for reducing cognitive load in time-sensitive situations.
Finally, I Created and refined a high-fidelity prototype through iterative feedback, focusing on accessibility, clarity, and response efficiency, before presenting the final outcomes and recommendations to project stakeholders.
