My Challenge
Flexitrace was one of the most amazing products I worked on, involving
AI and XR. I faced many exciting challenges while working on it.
Initially, XR and AI were new to me. Though I had a background in
computer science, I started taking classes in mathematics, linear
algebra, and matrix operations to better understand. I also watched
some courses about XR on Coursera.
Biomechanics in sports was also new to me, so I connected with
master's students in this field, asked questions, and learned more
about it. I visited various gyms to observe how coaches work with
athletes, and I went to universities and had online meetings with
professors and doctors to solve problems and identify our product's
value proposition.
As a designer, I worked to improve collaboration between the
development and design teams by having one-on-one meetings with the
CTO and other members. I assisted our PM in keeping the team on the
product roadmap. I designed an advanced KIT for designers and worked
on the UI/UX with two other designers.
Since we had the technology first and then needed to create usable
features for our market, I had to learn more about the market and our
physical competitors, like goniometers. For example, I watched over
100 videos to understand how a physiotherapist uses a goniometer on
the shoulder, what conditions they consider, their concerns and
expectations, and their focus during the process.
