The Noopl device takes advantage of the dynamic head tracking technology found in Airpod Pros to sense where a person is looking and focus sound in that direction, on the conversations the user wants to hear. Karten Design’s challenge was to represent this directional functionality and empower users to control and fine tune their experience.
We wanted the interface to fade into the background, leaving the user’s attention on the conversation. Clean, simple visuals tell at a glance where the amplified sound is coming from, displaying movements of the head in real time.
The interface gives users the control and flexibility to optimize their sound, whether that means letting the Noopl device do the work seamlessly in Auto Mode, or going into Manual Mode to widen or narrow the sound focus for different use case scenarios. Large, single-touch buttons let users control volume and background noise reduction, or pause the sound feed.
