UltimateTV by Microsoft | Creative direction and interaction design

Project overview
UltimateTV’s Remote Record service from Microsoft allows users to schedule recordings of their favorite TV programs from a PC or mobile device.

Design goals
With Remote Record, the objective was to create a user experience that made setting up recordings from anywhere as easy as selecting a program from a TV listings menu. The Remote Record UI had to be straightforward and had to offer elegant transitions between the varying screen sizes of the web, mobile devices, and TV.

Design and research methods used
User observation, Scenario development, Brainstorming, Lab testing.
