PHILIPS PICOPIX MAX LAUNCHER PRODUCT DESIGN FOLIO // Q1 2021

Redesigned launcher
Here’s my take on fixing some of the most common problems plaguing the user-experience

Input shortcuts
The user could either pick icons for each input from a small library of generic icons for commonly used devices or based on the
HDMI protocol, the devices would identify themselves and the system could show the appropriate icon. The icon for an input
would only appear if a device was connected to that input. Clicking the icon would switch to that input immediately.

Battery status Purposeful branding

Battery status is very important in a portable device
The logo was moved to the right where the
so it’s been moved to the top left where it’s visible
conditional badge under it would also help users
in the first glance
know if there was a system update available in an
engaging as opposed to disruptive way.
The charging text would change to uptime or
estimated time remaining when not plugged in to a
charging device
Smart categorization
As an optional feature, the top row would be
populated by the 5 most frequently used apps while
Quick connectivity
also giving the user the ability to quickly clear these
WiFi, Bluetooth indicator buttons and Image or disable the feature altogether from settings
Settings were all moved to the top-left to help users
quickly enjoy things without connectivity issues
getting in their way

Better shadows
Some may see this as a purely visual improvement
but shadows in digital surfaces are very helpful in
understanding hierarchy and making more engaging
and responsive experiences possible
App market shortcut
A subtle shortcut was placed allowing users to
quickly open the app store of their choice. Since the
Better app tiles device is not compatible with the official Google
Users would have the ability to set their own Play store and users often install 3rd party stores,
background color and icon or fetch one through the app store would be user-configurable through a
a tiny crowd-sourced repository of app icons, new setting under the settings menu
allowing them to set custom, crisp icons that really
make the projector’s high resolution shine, literally

Custom wallpapers
As text protection layers have been applied to the background and subtle shadows
have been applied to the text, the user can be given more freedom to customize the
device with their own wallpapers

Redesigned quick settings

Users also complained about the lack of ability to switch inputs, tweak colors and perform other common actions
while they were watching content, without having to go back to the home screen.

New interaction
Long pressing the home button on the remote would fire up this overlay
on top of anything they were doing at the time
