Design approach
The user experience focused on clear communication with the user focusing on real-time visual feedback from the UX:
A glanceable listening state
Feedback and confirmation of input from user
The visuals mimicked fluidity with undulation waves from sound vibrations going through water. This became a realtime feedback of the person’s voice as they asked their question.
It was reinforced with a text output confirming what the person was asking. For quick glanceability, it was placed front and center at the top of the visual hierarchy. The large formatted text made it easy to read in glance scenarios like driving.
