IMMERSIVE POWERPLANT CONFIGURATION: DESIGNING FIRST TIME USER EXPERIENCE FOR INDUSTRIAL METAVERSE

Abstract

The project aims to design a seamless and engaging first-time user experience (FTUX) for an industrial metaverse, which is a virtual environment that simulates real-world industrial processes and enables collaboration and training in a digital space. The focus of the project is to design an experience that guides users through the onboarding process and introduces them to the various features and functionalities of the metaverse and let them complete their tasks successfully. To achieve this goal, the project will employ a innovation-driven design approach, which involves conducting vast secondary research, ideation creating storyline, and prototyping the design. The research will involve gathering insights into the needs, goals, and pain points of users who are new to industrial metaverse technology, as well as identifying best practices and design frameworks from the research. The resulting design will incorporate visual and interactive elements that are easy to understand and use, such as tooltips, guides, and contextual help, assistants etc. The design will also consider personalisation, taking into account the needs of users, and their role & responsibility concerning industrial metaverse. Overall, the project aims to create an FTUX that reduces user frustration and confusion, increases engagement and retention, and ultimately contributes to the adoption and success of industrial metaverse technology for users who are visiting first time. Industrial metaverse are complex virtual environments that simulate real-world industrial processes, and users who are new to this technology may be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information and options available to them. Therefore, the design must strike a balance between providing enough guidance and information to help users navigate the metaverse and accomplish their goals, without overwhelming them with too much information. To achieve this balance, the design process will involve a thorough analysis of user & company’s goals, as well as an exploration of existing virtual environments and design patterns and incorporate new patterns.
