OBS - Redesign

Course Task

In the Application Design II course, the task was to develop intuitiv user interactions and reasoned micro steps.
Research was the first step, in which among other things, user testing and different models/techniques were carried out to get an overview and to be able to think about possible user flows, design principles and features.
The product is a comprehensive redesign, which was improved on the basis of the constantly taking place user testings and their findings.
Thus, not only a redesign is developed, but also a completely new user experience is created.

About OBS

Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) is a free software to record the screen content of a PC or broadcast it over the Internet (live streaming).

The Open Broadcaster software supports the user in transmitting screen content in real time via a network connection to the Internet. The transmitted content can be adapted and supplemented by means of various scenes and windows before transmission.

OBS Studio is available in 41 languages, including German.

Why OBS ?

We decided to use the desktop application OBS.
This decision is based on the current poor usability, incomprehensible information architecture and lack of user-friendliness.

Since it is freeware, the design is outdated and needs a redesign.
