Hello there! You've reached the portfolio-ish site of Ben Leduc-Mills. I like using my background in computer science, HCI, and design to uncover answers to questions people didn't know they should be asking, and then crafting a data-driven, design-polished, narrative-rich artifact to tell the story.
Yes, I use AI everyday. For code, for design, and for research. No, I didn't use it for this website.
Project Soli
Project Soli is a radar sensor platform enabling gestural interaction with embedded devices. I worked on the team for about 18 months as a UX researcher and prototyper. My personal responsibilities on the team ranged from user research of core needs (think aloud, wizard of Oz, surveys) to building coded (C++, openFrameworks) prototypes of new features based on user research. Other responsibilities included data analytics for UX testing, protocols for sensor integration (motion capture, depth cameras), managing research initiatives (such as building an anechoic test chamber for signal validation) and contributing to Project Soli’s software development kit.
