Prototype · Woodsmith AI · AI concept & working browser prototype · 2026
I conceptualized Woodsmith and designed an interactive AR-glasses prototype for planning, measurements, safety reminders and project guidance. Try it here or open the full app.
Checking instructions, recalling measurements and recording progress can interrupt a maker’s attention. I explored how an assistant could support those moments while making its limits and the user’s control clear.
Turn my Safety First AI Copilot course concept into a tangible experience people could try without AR hardware. The prototype needed to make the first request and each unfamiliar control understandable.
The result is a published browser prototype you can try on this page. It supports guided responses, real measurement inputs, tray calculations, notes, photos and browser audio controls. The implementation was checked for input validation and desktop and phone-sized interactions. It currently uses sample response scenarios; live AI and workshop safety performance remain unvalidated.
Decision 01 · Make the idea tangible
I designed the mock AR frame to hold a visual reference and one instruction at a time. Text, Voice and Photo sit beneath it, with a readable full reply below. Try the embedded version above or open the full app to explore all the controls.
Decision 02 · Make first use clear
My first version exposed too much at once. I reduced the initial surface and designed a seven-step walkthrough with visual prompts. It explains request input, modes, real measurements, audio, step confirmation and privacy, and can be replayed in Settings.
Decision 03 · Keep the maker in control
The original concept’s trust principles carry into the working prototype. Users enter and confirm measurements, decide when to capture a photo or dictate, and acknowledge warning scenarios. The interface demonstrates those choices; it does not measure from photos or certify a workshop setup as safe.
