Feature phones application
The application mainly lived during feature phones era (mean no touch screen) Latest versions made
Analysing and designing user flows and interactions (will later defined as UX), and preparing assets to dozens of screen sizes with expensive data transfer during this time was very challenging.
I was very proud with this role as it gave me the chance to solve complex problems and define new user flows for new and groundbreaking features that seems so trivial today
Below are some feature I was involved in, from ideation to implementation
Quick Menu
Naturally feature phones options were hidden in the pop ups menu, that require a lot of effort to reach them.
Although amAze had a lot of useful features some of them were almost never used, the assumption was that they are hard to reach, also the popups menus become loaded with options as new features delivered
We wanted to come up with a quick menu that will host some of the common features and make them easier to reach.
For evaluate and testing the ideas I built (Flash) prototype.
The following interactions was implamented
The following interactions was implamented
1. Popup menus opened form the right button.
Those menus were context sensitive but still loaded

2. The quick menu was accessed from the joystick center button

3. When the menu opens:
Right and left directions navigate between the items.
Down and up will navigate between the main and sub menu.
Clicking the menu item will execute the action

4. Closing the menu done with left button
(same as other menu / back actions)

Speed Camera Radar
Speed Cameras could not be displayed on maps (licensing Issues) and a dedicated display needed to be created for it
Location sharing and social features
This was an R&D effort to deliver a proof of concept both for location sharing and integration of social features
I was involved in defining the process, designing and developing the html and css for the Facebook application
Facebook Application to manage the location sharing
Facebook friends diplayed on map
Smart phone Applications
Later versions includes Windows based smartphones application and last version was supporting iOS (Android could run amAze but it never redesigned specially as it could runs the Java application)
Achievements
1. Work on large scale product in a significant role
2. Become an organized designer, define and manage efficient design workflows
3. Code semantic web sites
