Daily UI #061 - Redeem Coupon
Thoughts on Today’s Challenge
My inspiration for today’s challenge was the person at the checkout stand that has 327 coupons to redeem and ends up paying 0 dollars. I think we have all experienced an extreme consumer like this out there in the real world. I commend their spirit.
A part of me is somewhat envious of their craft though, I mean we all enjoy saving money right? It’s just too tedious and time consuming to keep track of which coupons apply to what, and to remember to use them. If coupons were easier to carry around and redeem, it would increase my willingness to use them.
If only we had some sort of small powerful device that could assist in this process… oh, wait. Thus my idea was formed. Why not combine Augmented Reality and our smartphones with a real-world shopping experience. My concept I built out here is a shopping assistant app that will help you save money with coupons, leveraging AR technology.
On the first screen, I created a mockup of what the AR portion of the app could look like. Here the user has selected a coupon for a beer which they could then add to their “wallet”. If there are other coupons available, but not in the frame, they will be indicated by a small icon pointing the user in the right direction.
The second screen shows the user’s coupon wallet. This screen is designed to increase efficiency at check out and simplify the experience to significantly decrease cashier errors. The large button “Redeem All” would create one scannable barcode that uses all relevant coupons at once.
I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg for this shopping companion app. I’m sure with more iterations and brainstorming, something cool could be brewed up here.
