This project is an immersive web-based, VR, and AR training system that enhances hands-on assembly skills using interactive simulations. I worked on UX design, 3D modeling, and animation to ensure the experience was intuitive, engaging, and scalable for diverse training needs.
Background
Across industries, there's a growing demand for practical assembly skills, yet limited opportunities for hands-on training. Our goal was to build a system that transforms static learning into experiential, repeatable practice—accessible anytime, anywhere.
Problem
The existing system suffered from poor visual hierarchy, unclear navigation, and an outdated interface, leading to user confusion and reduced training effectiveness. Trainees couldn’t distinguish between training and exam modes or easily follow complex procedures in VR.
Challenge
Designing for VR meant rethinking interaction patterns and UI structure within a fully immersive space. With only 3 months and limited assets, my team had to quickly iterate on both UX flows and 3D spatial logic, while ensuring usability across training modes.
Process
We followed a rapid yet structured process: user research, pain point analysis, low-to-high fidelity prototyping, and iterative testing. My focus was crafting a coherent user journey across training, exam, and record modules, while integrating realistic 3D visuals to support understanding.
Information Architecture
The information architecture was restructured to clearly separate training, exams, and records, enabling users to navigate seamlessly between modules and understand their progress at a glance.

Rebrand and Restyle
My team rebranded the product to go from Unity's default window UI to a new, coherent style.

Old vs New
The new interface introduced a clearer hierarchy, streamlined navigation, and modern visuals, addressing the confusion and outdated design of the original system.

Outcome
The redesigned system offers clearer navigation, better visual feedback, and improved user engagement, making the training both intuitive and motivating. Feedback from initial user testing showed increased clarity in mode differentiation and faster onboarding for new trainees.
