The MAYA Case Studies
Our clients value design as a strategic tool. Many of them come to us because of the benefits they gain from our symbiotic position between advanced research and applied product development. Rather than waiting to see what tomorrow brings, our clients rely on us to help them invent it. We help them to anticipate and capitalize on technological change.
Carnegie Library
Despite an early and influential role as organizers, protectors, and providers of information, libraries have not always evolved in tandem with the desires and expectations of their customers.
Digital Equipment | Workscape
Workscape enables users to work directly with information in a continuous, three-dimensional space.
Eaton | Home Heartbeat
A hassle-free “home awareness” system uses a wireless network of sensors to provide peace of mind, becomes a Wired Magazine featured fetish, and positions an old-line electronics manufacturer as an innovator.
Eaton | Next Generation Meter
Looking over their line of highly successful power meters, Eaton product managers, engineers, and salespeople wondered how they could break the mold of power meter interfaces.
F2 Technologies | Scouting Device
Former major league player Barry Foote saw a business opportunity in the clumsy, inefficient, and aggravating methods scouts use to collect and share data about players.
LogicLibrary | Logidex
After one of their best customers recommended a usability study, LogicLibrary recognized the need to streamline and improve their user interface. LogicLibrary asked MAYA to help restore the clarity of their original idea.
MAYA | Interstacks
Interstacks eliminates boundaries by creating a system of interoperable devices, even if they were never intended to work together.
Merrill Lynch | ml.com
MAYA translated and extended the Merrill Lynch brand for the web. Intuitive organization and navigation, and a consistent brand experience, make it much easier for their customers to do business with them.
Merrill Lynch | MLX
MAYA designed the web portal, the MLX brand for Direct Markets, and many other artifacts that deliver an experience with the MLX brand.
Philips | Equos
Lighting systems become far more flexible when lights, switches, and sensors communicate wirelessly.
Pittsburgh Digital Greenhouse | Personal Universal Controller
In cooperation with Carnegie Mellon University, MAYA has developed a personal, portable interface that works across multiple devices. We call it a “Personal Universal Controller” or PUC (“puck”)
Rhiza | Community Catalog
Rhiza’s Community Catalog applications, powered by the Information Commons, can integrate data from thousands of public agencies, non-profits and private organizations.
SoloHealth
Leaders at SoloHealth saw an opportunity to change the game in the industry–and for the consumer. MAYA helped to facilitate this vision.
U.S. Postal Service | User Experience Design
Everyone uses the US Postal Service, but the experience is not always completely satisfying, and sometimes it’s confusing—signature confirmations, the variety of envelopes, the choice between certified and registered mail.
