Summary

The challenge was to re-design an existing gaming interface that allows users to take accurate decisions based on data presented and under a time limit. This interface is a defense system control panel for a fleet of spaceships that are under attack, that is why it should be intuitive, clean, and easy to read under pressure.

Top Issues

Information overload: the previous interface presented unformatted data that was not easy to understand, making it impossible to act on time against threats.

Not intuitive enough: Controls were complex and users required training to understand them.

Limited prediction tools: There were no tools to predict the enemies attacks.

Confusion and frustration: Since the interface visually overwhelming it led to users making mistakes or rushed decisions.
