SPACETOP [AR LAPTOP FOR WORK]

PRODUCT DESIGN • MOTION • UX/UI

Company: Sightful

2022 - 2024

✸   Live site: www.sightful.com/

From April 2022 to August 2024, I worked as a product designer at Sightful, contributing to Spacetop—the world’s first AR laptop for work and productivity. This innovative device consists of a keyboard and AR glasses, offering users a massive 100-inch virtual canvas to work on. Spacetop was recognized as one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2023, and I was proud to contribute to its success through design, collaboration, and hands-on problem-solving.

Out-of-Box Experience and Device Design

One of my core responsibilities was designing the out-of-box experience, crafting the very first interaction users had with the device. This required synchronizing the hardware—such as the LED and mini-display—with AR animations displayed through the glasses. This boot animation wasn’t just functional; it represented the “birth” of the Spacetop canvas, introducing users to the expansive dotted matrix that defined the AR interface.

The challenges in this project were significant. Synchronizing the physical hardware with AR states demanded careful coordination across disciplines and technologies. The LED’s behavior, the mini-display feedback, and the animations in the glasses all had to be aligned to create a cohesive moment. My role was to synthesize a highly technical system into a simple, intuitive, and delightful experience for the user. Balancing these requirements while collaborating with engineers, developers, and industrial designers made this a deeply rewarding process.

State Machine and Notification System

I also worked extensively on the state machine, mapping the hardware and software states across different scenarios to ensure seamless transitions for users. This involved designing systems that accounted for various device conditions, from power cycles to operational states, creating a smooth and reliable experience.

In the same vertical, I designed the notification system, a key challenge in mixed reality environments. Using academic research as a foundation, I developed a framework for notifications that were non-intrusive yet effective, ensuring they complemented the Spacetop’s immersive workspace.

Recognition and Personal Highlights

Representing Spacetop at conferences, showcasing it on demo floors, and interacting directly with users gave me invaluable insights into how people experienced the product. Seeing it recognized as one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2023 was a proud moment and a testament to the team’s collective effort.

Designing a Seamless Future

Working on Spacetop was a rare opportunity to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and human-centered design. I was constantly challenged to simplify the complex. It was an honor to contribute to such an innovative product and be part of a team shaping the future of work in AR.
