Smartwatch User Interface Design
When designing the interface for my smartwatch, I started with sketches and then moved on to designing the final user interface.
- The watch needs to display time and date, just like a regular watch.
- The interface requires larger fonts and clearer icons to explain functions.
- A taller interface, as opposed to a wider one, is better for elderly users as it allows them to wear the watch without covering the screen.
- Medication reminder feature: Since museum visits tend to be lengthy, timely medication reminders are crucial to prevent elderly users from feeling unwell due to missed medication, thus enabling them to enjoy the full range of exhibits and enhancing their visiting experience.
- Heart rate monitoring feature: Continuous walking and interactive experiences in a museum may affect heart rate. Monitoring this can inform elderly users when to rest and adjust their physical condition during the visit.
- Voice command control of the device: This feature facilitates ease of use for elderly users, making it more convenient for them to utilize the device’s functions.

Smartwatch Product outlook
When designing my smartwatch device, I used Rhino for sketching and considered several functional factors.
- Based on previous research, the wristband incorporates muscle nerve detection technology to enhance the interaction of elderly users with artifacts.
- The weight of the watch: Considering the material, a combination of rubber and space-grade aluminum for the casing effectively reduces the weight of the device. This also ensures that the smartwatch is less prone to damage from falls (similar to the casing used in the Apple iPhone 15 Pro).
- The emergency call button on the watch is brightly colored for easy recognition by elderly users. Given the different usability of the left and right hand, as per my personal experience, there are emergency call buttons on both sides of the watch for convenience and ease of use during emergencies.
