The Smart Center, developed for Vestel's smart televisions, is a remote controller mobile application that goes beyond the limitations of standard remote controls. It offers a range of features such as voice control, channel list creation, and media mirroring between phone and TV, thereby improving user interaction with the television.
What sets the Smart Center apart from other remote control apps is its unique properties. It allows users to remotely control WiFi-enabled, smart Vestel televisions. With this app, information about program broadcasting and program details are always at hand. Users can record broadcast programs to watch later, set reminders for programs, and even share content on their mobile phones with their TVs. This makes following TV routines and favorite channels & programs much easier.
The Smart Center is available on the market for both iOS and Android users. It is designed to be compatible with all Android and iOS smartphone sizes. The application's user-friendly UX and UI design, as well as its information architecture, make it easy to understand and use. It groups relevant features under different menus such as Main Menu, Remote Control, TV Guide, Applications, and Settings, catering to different needs of TV users.
The design process of the Smart Center was a meticulous one. The project, which started in 2019 in Manisa, involved user researches and A/B testing to define exact user needs and related project guidelines. The UX Group created user journey maps and combined them with suitable interfaces to create better user experiences for Vestel smart device’s users. The design also considered user research insights, emotional impacts, usage scenarios, various design architecture systems, and actual design trends.
The Smart Center's design was recognized with a Silver A' Interface, Interaction, and User Experience Design Award in 2021. This prestigious award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation. The award is a testament to the Smart Center's strong technical characteristics, splendid artistic skill, and its ability to introduce positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
In conclusion, the Smart Center by Vestel UX and UI Design Group is a groundbreaking innovation that is transforming the way users interact with their televisions. It is a perfect example of how technology and design can come together to enhance our lifestyles. With its unique features and user-friendly design, the Smart Center is truly a game-changer in the realm of smart televisions.
