A precision instrument maker
Software that teaches as you work.
A sequence of 4 steps: Prepare, Measure, Check, Record. Step 3, Check, is highlighted. Beneath it, a box reads ‘Why this step matters’. A note, ‘what a step means’, points to Check.
01
The people and the problem
Technicians running a precision measurement have to work through a complex process. A clear interface helps, but they also need support with the knowledge behind each step.
02
What was made
An instrument interface with learning built in: guided measurement that walks a technician through each step while they work. A tool that teaches.
03
The connection
My background in education made me look at what a technician needs to understand at each stage. Someone can be comfortable with an interface and still need help understanding what a step means or why it matters. Putting that help inside the workflow means people finish the task and understand it better at the same time.
