“How might we reimagine text transcripts as interactive, spatial experiences, so that users can explore, learn, and engage with language in ways that feel natural, intuitive, and memorable?”
01 — INTRODUCTION
BEYOND COMPLEX TEXTS
In today's digital world, transcripts turn speech into plain text, but they often feel dense, linear, and difficult to use. Debrieviate reimagines transcripts on visionOS as interactive, visual experiences — breaking them into tappable words and digestible segments. Through a blend of coding and UX design, the project empowers users to actively navigate, decode jargon, and engage with transcripts rather than passively read them.
02 — RESEARCH
BEHIND THE PROBLEM
To understand the challenges of using transcripts, we conducted quick interviews with students and professionals who frequently work with recorded content, and reviewed common transcript platforms. Affinity diagramming surfaced patterns in how people experience transcripts; a five-stage current-state journey map showed how listeners prepare, follow along, hit jargon, lose flow, and struggle to re-engage.
03 — IDEATION
FROM PAIN POINTS TO POSSIBILITIES
Having mapped the pain points, we ideated spatial treatments that break transcripts into tappable words and digestible segments — decoding jargon in context, in place, without losing the thread of the conversation.
04 — PROTOTYPE
THE VISION DICTIONARY
The coded prototype runs on visionOS: transcripts float as spatial panels, every word is tappable, and definitions unfold beside the text. The result is a reading experience that feels natural, intuitive, and memorable.
