UI/UX Design Challenge

1. Our time machine can send users to any year, day, hour, minute, and place on earth, so the interface needs to allow them to make those selections.
2. We’ve had problems with audio-only activation; users didn’t phrase the instructions correctly and ended up in the middle of revolutions or volcanos. Our time machine needs a visual interface that eliminates mistakes.
3. Most of our users are pretty ignorant about history. We want an assist feature to help users pick a fun time in the future or past to visit.
4. We’ve lost a few users because they arrived at a bad time in history. Eg. the SF earthquake or in the middle of a hurricane. Help them avoid dangerous times and weather systems.
5. Speaking of weather, they’ll need to know how to dress for their arrival time and place.
6. Our business model involves steering users to particular events in history, and then selling their information to time travel agencies who meet them there and try to sell them tour packages. Can you help with some methods for encouraging users to visit a list of featured times in history that we’re promoting?

Adobe XD, Adobe Photoshop, Procreate, Figma.
Objective: We’ve invented an app that is easy to download onto your smartphone. It allows you to travel to any time in the past or future. But we’re having trouble designing the interface.
Approach: Create and design an app interface that will allow users to travel to the past or future.
Login and Home Screen
Welcome to Echo! The world’s easiest teleportation app. Login with a signed fingerprint to come to your home screen. Here, you can book a trip by location or event. See popular trips and trending events for any time in the past or future. You can also access your trip history and see your favorites. Bon Voyage!
View and Bounce
Echo offers trending events and locations in the past and present. Once you find a event or location you want to bounce to, users have the option of three different receptors to jump to. When the receptor is selected, the app holds the receptor for you during transportation.
Confirmation Screen
Echo offers confirmation screens to users with audio feedback to help eliminate user error. If a dangerous time is selected to visit, a warning page will let users know and offer other suggestions for travel.
