PROJECT ABSTRACT

Based on the World Health Orga­ni­za­tion, around 466 mil­lion peo­ple world­wide have dis­abling hear­ing loss. It is esti­mat­ed that by 2050 over 900 mil­lion peo­ple will have dis­abling hear­ing loss.

We believe in the pow­er of tech­nol­o­gy to help break down bar­ri­ers and make life a lit­tle eas­i­er for everyone.

How can we help those peo­ple com­mu­ni­cate eas­i­ly and more effec­tive­ly with any­one and anyplace?

Volume Indicator

Voice vol­ume is impor­tant to express emo­tion dur­ing the con­ver­sa­tion. It is def­i­nite­ly hard­er for Deaf and Hard-fo-Hear­ing peo­ple to under­stand it. Hav­ing a vol­ume indi­ca­tor helps the com­mu­ni­ty bet­ter com­mu­ni­cate with any­one at any place.

Think out side the box

Hand sketch­ing for any asso­ciate with sound wave, and tried to sim­pli­fy it.

The shape is too com­pli­cat­ed, and long learn­ing curve for user to under­stand the indicator.

Keep it sim­ple and align with Google voice search

The lear­ing curve is short for users.

Share the same pat­tern with Google voice search and it will not too dis­tract­ing user when they are read­ing the transcribe. 

Made the quick motion pro­to­type to dis­cuss with PM, Machine Learn­ing engi­neer, and inter­ac­tion designer.
