GoChalandriani (Tablet App)

Date: Feb 2016

Work: University Project for Interaction Design Studio

Brief: Design an interactive system to enhance the user experience on learning about the Cycladic era (2000 - 3000 BC).

Tools: Android Studio, Estimote® Beacons, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Wacom Cintiq, Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects

What we did: We designed a child-centered educating system that includes a full working Android Tablet application that enables kids explore hidden ancient monuments in the historic area of Chalandriani, Syros. Using proximity sensors by Estimote we developed a working prototype on Android tablet that can detect hidden monuments like cycladic figurines, ceramic pottery, ceramic “fry” pans etc of that era.

Target Group: Children of age 6-10

Our Aim: Develop children’s interest in history by letting them explore it through a combination of technological and physical contact with monuments.

4774: Using Android Studio we developed the whole game and a minigame where you can collect seeds into a found pot and add score to your team. 4774 provided the team with a fully working prototype. We evaluated it on usability, aesthetics and efficacy. Results shown that users enjoyed the game very much. The exploring procedure provided them with great amusement, impatience for what we were about to find, creativity on where to look and team-work spirit. Mostly positive where the comments and as a team we aim to develop it further as a platform for museums to customize the game according to their theme e.g. Delphi or Roman Empire monuments exploration or even Mayas exploration for children in Peru etc. All demand monuments to be connected with bluetooth beacons so that the game works.

AppAno Syros (Concept)

Date: May 2014

Tools: Adobe Photoshop

Brief: Concept design of an Augmented Reality travel guide app for Ano Syros

What we did: We designed a mobile application that can be a great tool for locals and tourists to enjoy sightseeing Ano Syros. It features language selection, GPS geolocation, Augmented Reality (AR) view that enhances user’s reality through mobile’s camera. User can either explore Ano Syros using their front camera that aids their experience with layers of information or use a map, or a list that shows all of the local Points of Interest (POIs).

P.S. Thanks to Stelios Syrris for the logo design back in 2014.

Survey Tool

Date: 4 July 2016 - 12 Aug 2016 (6 Weeks)

Work: for Advantage Financial System Experts, Alimos Greece

Tools: Tombow Brush Pens, Balsamiq Mockups, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects, Android Studio

Brief: Design & Develop a native Android application to conduct employ engagement surveys within Advantage FSE.

Target Group: Advantage FSE members only

What we did: The Advantage FSE “Survey Tool” application enables users create surveys or answer available ones from their smartphone. Detailed mock-ups were created using Balsamiq to present the main user experience, Adobe After Effects for brainstorming in interactions, Photoshop for pixel perfect design and Android Studio for developing it. Google’s Material design guidelines were followed and aligned with the AFSE values making this application, hopefully, an ideal design sample for the company.
