XR technology demos for marketing and showcases

At Ultraleap, I designed interactive demos that translated hand tracking technology into tangible experiences for various target markets.

Background

When new hand tracking features were developed — be it improved precision, new SDK features or new tracking inputs — I designed demos to bring them to life.

These demos served a dual purpose: they acted as conversation starters in client meetings and were used to showcase the tracking quality in global exhibitions like CES and AWE.

Intuitive UI for exhibition use

The UI of the experiences had to be instantly learnable - even if the user has never used hand tracking or VR.

Highlighting device capabilities

Ultraleap was known for the best hand tracking accuracy in the market - the demo design should highlight this.

Use cases that speak to different markets

Creating use cases that can spark the imagination of a wide variety of markets from consumers to OEMs looking for OS interactions.
