This project involved designing  a conversational user interface (CUI) and pitching the idea in a concept video.  The CUI we’ve designed, Wonderboy, assists customers in ordering drinks at a bar. Through methods such as ecosystem collection maps and competitive analysis, we researched our potential users and their values. We then created a set of scenarios the agent should be able to handle with natural language processing. Some examples include: ordering a specific drink, asking for recommendations, and starting a tab. The design went through several iterations based on critiques from peers and instructors.

Once we had our basic design specifications, we created a concept video to demonstrate the idea. The video production involved several key steps:

Video

We experimented with different camera angles for the shots and tried out different props we could use for the physical realization of the CUI.


We exported a video from PowerPoint to create the infographics.

 

Audio

We recorded the audio on a separate device and used Audacity to remove background noise and edit the music.

 

Post-Production

After shooting the video and recording the audio, we used Adobe Premiere to splice everything together and add visual effects to the CUI.
