Wingman Pro Zero | The Ultimate Survival Watch.
Designing a zero-friction interface for environments where cognitive capacity collapses and physical constraints take over.
Project Overview
In extreme survival scenarios, the deadliest variable is cognitive paralysis. When a user is injured or exhausted, their ability to process complex information drops to zero. Traditional interfaces fail because they demand active decision-making from a compromised mind. The challenge was not building a better navigation tool; it was architecting a triage engine that makes the correct survival decision when the user no longer can.
My role as PRODUCT DESIGNER
Wingman Pro Zero bypasses decision fatigue entirely. I mapped the intersections between degrading biological metrics, chaotic environmental data, and distress signalling to build an ecosystem of absolute clarity.
- Zero-Friction Triage: Stripped away all secondary data sets to force-surface immediate, critical survival actions, removing the cognitive burden of choice.
- Degradation Fail-Safes: Engineered the logic to withstand physical reality, accounting for edge cases where fine motor skills are lost, visibility drops, and hardware inputs fail.
- Reality-Anchored Verification: Pressure-tested user flows against unforgiving physical constraints to ensure systemic integrity in the wild.
Building for reality, not just the canvas.
