Thermal imager
A place for everything. A thermal imager menu that keeps everyday actions close and occasional settings out of the way.
An interface designed for evolving hardware. At the time of the article, the device had not reached the market.
In the field, attention belongs to the scene, not the settings. We separated frequent and occasional actions so the menu would not require a lengthy search.
A small display and optical distortion shaped text and icon sizes. The team had no finished physical device to test.
Display modes sit at the top menu level. The same navigation logic carries across different sections.
The client supplied the palettes; we integrated their selection into the menu. We created more than 120 interface icons, considering how they would appear through an eyepiece, where small details can disappear. Rather than adding decorative accents, we focused on distinct symbols, a clear selected state and a consistent visual hierarchy.
The device can pass from its owner to a guest. The connectivity section provides different access levels and pairing with external devices.
Display resolution and proportions changed during the project. We therefore designed the UI as a system: elements could scale and individual screens could change while navigation remained consistent. Short iterations with the client helped refine decisions; some scenarios were reserved for later device versions.
The team designed an interface that could evolve with the hardware. The body and pouch shown here are concept illustrations, not the client’s industrial design or evidence of field testing.
