Project Overview
The Hotshot Basketball App is a mobile application designed to enhance basketball players’ training and performance through advanced analytics, real-time feedback, and interactive drills. The app is typically geared toward players, coaches, and trainers looking to improve shooting accuracy, technique, and overall gameplay.
HotShot Pro, is a basketball machine company that tasked us with creating an application to connect their machine to users in real time. The app enables real-time shot tracking, providing players with instant performance feedback, and offers personalized training plans tailored to individual skill levels and goals. By integrating cutting-edge technology and user-focused design, the application enhances player development and helps users maximize their basketball training sessions.
Key Responsibilities :
As the UI/UX Designer for the HotShot Pro basketball application, I played a pivotal role in designing an app that bridges cutting-edge technology with user-centered solutions to elevate basketball training experiences. The goal was to create an intuitive and engaging platform that connects seamlessly with the HotShot Pro basketball machine, enabling real-time shot tracking, personalized training plans, and performance analytics. My contributions focused on ensuring the app’s design not only met the client’s technical requirements but also provided a user-friendly experience tailored to players, coaches, and trainers.
As the UI/UX Designer for the HotShot Pro basketball application, I collaborated closely with the engineering team and designer using Figma to streamline real-time communication and feedback. This approach fostered an efficient and adaptive work environment, enabling us to implement design updates quickly and ensure alignment between the technical and user-experience goals. My role was instrumental in creating an intuitive and engaging platform that seamlessly integrates with the HotShot Pro basketball machine, providing users with real-time shot tracking, personalized training plans, and performance analytics. By focusing on both functionality and usability, I ensured the app met the technical requirements while delivering an exceptional experience for players, coaches, and trainers.
For the HotShot Pro basketball application, I used low-fidelity designs to kickstart conversations about what users really need and to clarify functionality with the client. These early sketches and wireframes made it easier to share ideas quickly, focus on user-centered solutions, and ensure that everyone was on the same page before moving into more detailed design work. This approach helped us save time, prioritize what mattered most to users, and create an app experience that truly meets the needs of players, coaches, and trainers.
For the HotShot Pro basketball application, I developed high-fidelity prototypes to bring the design vision to life and provide a realistic preview of the final product. These detailed prototypes included accurate visuals, typography, and interactive elements, such as clickable buttons and navigation, allowing both the client and users to experience the app’s functionality as it was intended.
The high-fidelity prototypes were essential for testing the user experience, ensuring that the app was intuitive and met the needs of players, coaches, and trainers. They also served as a key communication tool with stakeholders, making it easy to gather feedback and refine the design. Additionally, the prototypes helped streamline collaboration with the engineering team by clearly demonstrating how features should function and look, reducing potential misunderstandings during development.
This process ensured that the HotShot Pro app not only aligned with technical requirements but also delivered a polished, user-friendly platform that enhances basketball training through real-time shot tracking, personalized plans, and performance analytics.
