Overview

In October of 2018, RealNetworks launched SAFR™, a highly accurate machine learning facial recognition platform, free to every K-12 school in the U.S. and Canada.

My role

Using Sketch, I developed and delivered an appealing and functional roadmap for UI development in the form of clickable, high-fidelity prototypes. In addition to a macOS Desktop console design, I created interfaces for the SAFR™ iPad kiosk and door devices, as well as website sign up, sign in, download and instruction pages.

Timeline

4 Months

Tools

Sketch, Photoshop, Powerpoint, Whiteboard, Pens & Paper

Challenge

Introduce UX Design into a complex, controversial, iOT product under a tight deadline, as a team of one.

Solution

I used affinity diagrams, site maps, user flows and personas to understand the requirements and make sure I was designing a safe and simple interface for the primary user, in this case, a school administrator. I worked as closely as possible with the engineers and checked in frequently with my Design Director.

Outcome

SAFR® by RealNetworks got in fast to the rapidly expanding field of facial recognition. Because of its exceptionally diverse database, their algorithms enjoy the status of "fastest and most compact" with "top-tier accuracy -- less than 0.0335 False Non-Match Rate."  Since the initial free rollout to schools nationwide, the company has expanded into the security sector and continues to lead the field in speed and accuracy.
