VUE Meetings

VUE began as a general audio device. The team’s strategic pivot focused on primary user needs: discreet interaction, simple gestures for voice assistants, and recording when note-taking is inconvenient.

1. Existing products

   • VUE Smart Glasses
     (primarily served as an audio input/output device)
   • App: VUE Lite/Pro
     (displaying connection status)

2. Currently at pivotal point

   • New generation of hardware
   • Looking for growth of users

Capture is only the beginning

VUE could record conversations, but users still had to review recordings and organize follow-up themselves. The challenge was to turn hands-free capture into useful meeting notes and action items.

Professionals aged 22–40 make up over 80% of VUE’s users. They value discreet recording and simple controls when note-taking is inconvenient.

Design focus

Interviews and surveys shaped four directions for supporting a more efficient meeting experience.

Management

Review meetings and calendars in one place.

Convenience & accessibility

Connect glasses, mobile controls, and AI support across scenarios.

Proactive assistance

Guide the meeting process and organize notes and follow-up.

Inclusiveness

Support translation, sharing, and AI assistance.

We mapped ideas across the before, during, and after meeting stages. Recording became the primary action connecting the experience cycle, giving the feature a clear starting point and a route into review and follow-up.

I developed alternative wireframes for crucial pages, then brought the choices to potential users. Sixteen usability tests guided the next steps and informed the high-fidelity design.

Make recording easy to find

A dedicated Record tab supports scheduled meetings; Quick Record handles impromptu conversations.

Keep the transcript in view

Compare menu layouts and test press-and-drag highlighting to keep the transcript readable.

Connect voices to people

Compare naming speakers in the transcript with assigning names through voice samples.

Keep follow-up manageable on mobile

Compare a simple checklist with detailed status cards, and connect playback controls to the recording experience.

Based on user feedback, I removed redundant items from the user flow to make the MVP leaner and more suitable for mobile use. The revised maps show the reductions across the three stages.

Extend control to the glasses

I added gestures for starting and ending recordings, pausing and resuming, and highlighting, while minimizing conflicts with existing gestures.

14 of 16 participants said the features met their needs

This is feedback about perceived usefulness from the test participants. It does not establish a measured improvement in meeting efficiency.

Over 80% of existing users expressed willingness to upgrade

Existing-user feedback indicated interest in upgrading for the new meeting features. This is a signal of interest; the sample size and collection method are not documented in the available project record.

The project was partially launched in September 2024. Feature-level adoption, time saved, and longer-term follow-through still need validation.
