Challenge

REVL, an action camera startup needed a mobile application and hardware user experience that was as innovative as their camera.

How might we utilize Revl’s unique tech to give them an edge over the competion?

Secondary Research

Led the process of conducting secondary research of 10+ action cams to understand best practices and common pitfalls of current user interfaces, including a review of mobile applications.

Primary Research

Conducted 9 interviews, targeting current users, non users, and aspiring users across a wide spectrum from extreme adventurers to lifestyle users.

I used this data to understand the different users, find insights into the pitfalls of the current user experience, and develop customer archetypes.

Just connect your camera to create an automatically edited video of your adventure.

The Revl App uses data captured by the Revl Arc and computer vision on the app to automatically find the best few minutes from hours of video. These clips are then assembled into a sharable video with transitions syned to the beat of the music.

Remote controls for the camera, let users adjust camera settings, record a video, tag a moment, snap a picture, or go live.
