Overview
UAV Link is a prototype for a community-focused UAV map app. The intent is to allow users to record both personal and public information on a map. Public information is accessible to everyone, allowing people to share details about their flights and observations.
My Role & Mission
I performed some product management duties and took on project design responsibilities. I conducted initial research and design for the app.
Process
Below are my research notes (embedded Google document):
At this point, I narrowed the feature set down to include only the essential features. This focused on a basic map element that displays key flight restrictions (which could be powered by the FAA's Material 3 design system was selected to speed up product development. This will keep the app familiar and cohesive.
