What am I addressing?
OPPO Electronics wants to produce 3D object scanners that are more cost-efficient and user friendly.
With a team of 4 hardware and software engineers, I led the project as Human-Centered Design Coordinator.

Key findings included…
"Flexible positioning options would be helpful for capturing objects."
"Calibration and alignment issues, especially when there is low contrast between the object and the background."

Final Touches
Interchangeable boxes were built for higher contrast backgrounds.
We finalized the product by integrating minor components, ensuring everything was functional, and getting it fully operational for use.

Findings & Deliverables
Error reduction & functionality validation.
By incorporating contrasting backgrounds and point-cloud data plotting software, we significantly reduced user errors related to object misalignment and inaccurate scanning, leading to a smoother and more reliable user experience. We successfully validated all key features, confirming they met the initial requirements and solving the problems outlined during research.
Final presentations were carried out to the Bellevue OPPO Electronics team in-person.
