THE CHALLENGE

The task behind this project was to innovate an existing digital experience, as a part of the MDEI course “Working in Teams.” Our group choose to innovate on online sports live-streaming, and developed the Sports+ concept.

 

THE APPROACH

We started this process by exploring potential experiences to innovate, and then narrowed down the list to two experience types. We then spent time doing individual and group brainstorming to come up with lists of ways to innovate each environment, then used these lists to pick one.

At this point we formed sub-groups to work on the UX/UI. A teammate and I brought some sketches and ideas together into wireframes, and brought those to the group. Using the feedback from the rest of the group, we created a final set of low-fidelity mockups using Balsamiq. Another sub-group took these wireframes and created high-fidelity mockup images.

 

THE RESULTS

 Sports+ is a live-streaming site for sports events, accessible on browser or mobile. Users create an account and pay a monthly fee to access the numerous live-streamed events and additional features. Users can choose their game and add on any augmentations they want to engage with during the game, including a second game split-screen, chat, tutorial, poll/player information, and camera (view) selection.
