We showed 31 different washing processes with real texture, which enabled users to choose the right process easily and directly. We made great efforts on adjusting colors, textures and angles to make them appear in perfect harmony.
We laid emphasis on readability when adding information on pictures. We sorted information by using different color and size on primary, secondary and operable information. We made the interface simple and easy to use by concerning each detail.
Waiting is always annoying while washing. We challenged to turn it into a positive feeling. We simulated water flow to make the washing experience more lively. By directly showing remaining time and washing process, we enabled our users to control washing condition at a glance.
What are users expecting on washing machine screen? To answer the key question, we designed 2 interface prototypes with different visual styles and animation.
