Scoreboard

Overview

Partnered with Boccia England, a national governing body, to create a modern scorekeeping solution.

I designed an iPad app that connected to a big screen. The scoreboard was used at local, national and international competitions as well as the National Paralympic Day in London.

National Paralympic Day

Scorekeeping

Used by officials with a range of technology experience and physical abilities.

Problem
Volunteers may not have ever used an iPad before.
Solution
Skeuomorphism was used to make the experience more familiar to a traditional physical scoreboard.
iPad interface – controls for each competitor to start timer or increase score, an edit button, and end indicator with next end button.
Problem
During user research, I observed indivdiuals having difficulty swiping the screen to scroll.
Solution
Added tapable scroll buttons.
History with search functionality

Players

Match results were shown on a large screen for players and spectators.

Problem
Information on the screen needed to be read from at least 10 meters away.
Solution
Included additional graphical cues to support the contrast and typography.

Examples:
  • the position of the highlighted circle within a set of ends indicates the end being played, even if the number cannot be read
  • a time-remaining ring provided a bold visual indicator of timing, which can be seen from a greater distance than the numerical display
  • different audio alerts notified officials and players when time-remaining reaches key points.
