USER EXPERIENCE
In Case of an Emergency
Eyva‘s SOS Function improves safety during hikes and optimizes searching for someone in case of an emergency. Questions that can be answered through the product, can also be accessed on the app.
USER EXPERIENCE
Smart Connection
Even though EYVA works on her own as well, visual interaction is also possible by linking EYVA to a smartphone or a smartwatch.
USER EXPERIENCE
CRM-Strategy
The colours amplify the natural aesthetics while the sustainable material (AirCarbon) creates an emotional impact with the user.
VISUAL IDENTITY
Transparency
Transparency is an important factor for creating sustainable products. Eyva‘s website shows users what steps happen in the manufacturing process and which materials are used.
THE VISION
Collaborating with a communication industry partner was an interesting and new experience for our team. We took the task beyond the expected range and focused on sustainability and on creating a true value for the user. Since I am passionate about outdoor activities this project particularly was a fun and relatable task.
