I led the design of text entry for the Magic Leap 1 spatial computing platform. Lumin OS supported text entry via Control Virtual Keyboard, Voice Dictation, Bluetooth Keyboard and Mobile App Keyboard. On different efforts I functioned as interaction designer, prototyper, and researcher. I also led design of haptic patterns for the controller, many of which were several of which were used in the virtual keyboard. This work involved close partnership with teams across the organization, including Product, Software, Hardware, Mechanical, Electrical and Industrial Design.
I prototyped several initial Virtual Keyboard concepts in Unity for our Control, partnered with other prototypers to evolve them further, defined interaction design to spec, worked closely with our visual designer, and saw the implementation through with the software team leading up to Magic Leap 1 release and beyond. Along the way there were numerous user tests and tweaks to custom parameters to enhance the usability around the primary means of text entry in our OS.
