An AI-powered tool that selects optimal sites without the need for physical visits
Centauri Site Scout
Product design, UX, UI
The challenge
Users frequently express frustration with the time-consuming site selection process for installing Centauri, a pair of laser communication devices. Currently, users are required to physically visit the site to verify if it meets the necessary criteria, such as ensuring a clear line of sight between the two sites and confirming the absence of nearby devices that could potentially interfere with Centauri. This process may take up to 2 weeks.
What we did
Created the concept of developing an AI-powered site recommendation engine that can suggest the best deployment strategy based on the customer’s unique requirements, enabling users to identify optimal installation sites without the need for physical site visits.
As this is a company-wide hackathon, idea generation, team member selection, and project execution are all accomplished within a span of three days.
Research
Conducted research on similar concepts and discovered relevant references that served as sources of inspiration for the ideation process.
Wireframes
Developed rapid wireframes outlining potential user interface (UI) designs.
Tech
The team also explored the feasibility of the idea by conducting tests using Google Earth Pro, leveraging its capabilities to detect line of sight between locations and determine altitude.
Visual prototype
Presented a guided visual prototype to effectively communicate the intended concept.
