Stork (2019) explored the use of drones for package delivery, addressing both technological limitations and anticipated public concerns. My role centered on developing a product video to introduce the service, designing the UI of the app, and constructing a physical model of a drone charging station. These materials were crucial for testing the concept with the public.

I planned, filmed and edited this video.  

Why drones?

There is a great opportunity to use drones for package delivery since our research revealed that Amazon reports 86% of their packages weigh less than 5 lbs. Drones also offer an environmentally friendly solution for transporting materials over short and potentially long distances, potentially utilizing solar energy collected at charging stations. Already, drones are actively used to deliver life-saving resources to people in remote areas.

The Charging Station Problem

We considered that widespread drone delivery requires accessible charging stations along their routes. To minimize the footprint of these stations and promote positive public reception, we designed compact structures featuring small orb-like windows displaying live drone footage. 

Under Developed

The UI is currently in a semi-wireframe stage and has not been fully developed or refined. Our team prioritized other aspects of the project, focusing primarily on delivering a video showcasing our drone and charging station services, rather than fully developing the customer-facing app at this stage.
