About the Project
As remote work solutions evolved, I contributed as a UX Designer, focusing on enhancing the VIVE Desk experience across macOS and Windows.
My goal was to streamline installation, optimize user workflows, and improve virtual office interactions for a more intuitive experience. I led the project through three key phases: competitive analysis, user research, and UI/UX design implementation.
Key accomplishments
Final Design
Project Process
Competitive Analysis
At the initial stage of product development, we analyzed 4 VR competitors to identify user needs and pain points from daily experiences, comparing setup, control, display, and latency. Our goal for VIVE Desk is to transcend office software and offer multifaceted enjoyment!
Explore User Needs in Virtual Office Solutions
Test with Goovis and VIVE Desk for daily using.
Focusing on virtual screen setup, adjustments, and control methods.
Overall performance comparing
Comparison of VIVE Desk and Virtual Desktop across: visual quality, user experience, input integration, and latency.
Visual Performance
For office needs, the clarity and rendering of fonts and images are crucial for browsing websites and working on documents. We simulated daily office tasks like word processing and web browsing.
Compared color accuracy, text clarity, reading comfort, and latency.
User Experience
Evaluated software installation and download process.
Analyzed connectivity and control mechanisms.
Identified strengths and weaknesses for targeted optimization.
Overall Findings
Something that can refer to others
Tutorial
Providing the tutorial step-by-step to let user learn how to operate the system.Scene
Offering a variety of scene options to suit different use cases, e.g. cinema, study.Brightness
Screen brightness adjustment settings to cater to comfort needs at different operation times.Information
Displaying information at the bottom of the screen for more intuitive and convenient browsing.Virtual keyboard
Using a virtual keyboard with ray operation is engaging for short-term use but not suitable for extended typing tasks.

Gaming Latency Comparison
Not only for work, but for gaming!
Tested boost mode at 60 and 90 fps on platform games.
Evaluated wireless connectivity and gameplay performance.
Focused on seamless integration and overall gaming experience.
Design
Designed the VIVE Desk version tailored for the macOS system.
With product updates, VIVE Desk now supports both Windows and MacOS platforms.
For MacOS, the operation process and UI design were optimized to align with its system behavior and display requirements.
What I did
Designed the installation and permission flow for VIVE Hub OS version.
Developed the version update process for Server (PC) and Client (HMD).
Created the process and functionality for accessing Server/Client logs.
Permissions and drivers
Status
Customizable virtual workspace (Only support on Windows)
In addition to built-in environment options, users can upload their preferred environments and desktop textures to personalize their virtual workspace.
What I did
Designed the process for user customization of environments and desktop textures.
Collaborated with the development team to discuss and implement modifications.
Upload environment
Screen mode settings
Learning and thought
Design for different platform
Cross-Platform Considerations
Teamwork and focus on user needs
Collaboration and Feedback Integration
Learned to optimize installation processes, UI designs, and workflows to align with the specific behaviors and requirements of each operating system.
Collaborated with animators, engineers, and users, emphasizing teamwork and open communication in design.
Integrated user feedback to identify pain points and improve the overall user experience.
Deliverables

Visual Performance
For office needs, the clarity and rendering of fonts and images are crucial for browsing websites and working on documents.
We found that:
Virtual desktop better serves office requirements, as fonts and images appear clearer, with sharp, vibrant colors and no jagged edges.
VIVE Desk performs slightly better in terms of font size visibility.
User Experience
Evaluated software installation and download process.
Analyzed connectivity and control mechanisms.
Identified strengths and weaknesses for targeted optimization.
