Cloud storage platforms like Google Drive are primarily designed for desktops and mobile devices, leaving out users who interact through emerging interfaces like Smart TVs and car displays. These users face challenges with accessibility, screen optimization, and hands-free interaction in non-traditional contexts.

Designing for emerging devices like Smart TVs and car displays challenged me to rethink interaction beyond touchscreens. I learned how crucial it is to leverage hardware-specific capabilities—like voice control, remote navigation, and driving modes—to create meaningful, context-aware experiences. One key takeaway was the importance of reducing cognitive load in passive or multitasking environments, where traditional UI patterns don't always apply. This project deepened my understanding of inclusive design and the growing need to extend digital tools into diverse, non-traditional use cases.
