The Withings Thermo is a temporal thermometer. It is ultra accurate, very fast, and super easy to use. I've been involved in the project from the start managing the product design and designing the interactions of the object, leading the selection of the screen type, the shape and the button types.

The final object is pure, white shape with only one button is visible. The LED screen lights through the surface of the object when on, is totally invisible when off. Additional interactions are available through an invisible touch surface on the side of the screen.

The use of an LED screen led to challenges in the embedded UI and the design of the fonts that would be displaying informations. In order to make fast iterations, I created multiple flash prototypes that helped make the right choices for both the typographic details and the interactions.
