← TripActions Interview Insights
Start by clarifying the target user segment and the core jobs-to-be-done for a blind smartwatch user, then prioritize features based on impact and feasibility. Structure your answer around a user-centered design process, emphasizing accessibility and non-visual interaction, and tie it back to TripActions' context of travel and expense management.
Pro tip: Demonstrate empathy by considering the entire ecosystem—not just the watch, but how it integrates with smartphones, voice assistants, and travel workflows. Also, mention the importance of testing with actual blind users to validate assumptions.
Ask clarifying questions to understand the scope: Is this for all blind users or a specific segment? What are the primary use cases (e.g., travel, health, communication)? What constraints exist (budget, timeline, existing tech)?
Outline the key needs of blind users: independent navigation, quick access to information, communication, health monitoring, and seamless integration with travel itineraries and expenses. Prioritize needs based on frequency and criticality.
Generate ideas for non-visual interaction: haptic feedback (vibrations for alerts, directions), audio output (voice assistants, bone conduction), tactile buttons, and gesture controls. Consider how these features address the identified needs.
Use a prioritization framework (e.g., RICE, MoSCoW) to rank features by impact, feasibility, and alignment with TripActions' goals. Focus on MVP features that deliver core value, such as voice-guided navigation and expense capture.
Propose metrics like task completion rate, user satisfaction, and adoption rate. Emphasize the need for iterative testing with blind users to refine the design and ensure accessibility.
