How the design approach, took shape.
Design for scale
The system was designed to handle hundreds of scenarios without breaking down. Structure, hierarchy, and grouping were prioritized so the library could grow without becoming harder to navigate.
Build a clear taxonomy
Content types, languages, tags, and simulator compatibility were intentionally defined and standardized. This ensured scenarios were categorized consistently and could be surfaced reliably across teams and use cases.
Optimize for fast decisions
The interface was designed for live sales conversations and demos. Results needed to be understandable at a glance, allowing users to quickly confirm availability, quantity, and relevance without slowing the conversation.
Lead with visuals first
Scenarios were presented visually first, supported by concise metadata. This helped users quickly understand the nature of the content while reserving deeper detail for focused views, reducing cognitive load during browsing.
The work began with a deep review of the existing content spreadsheet to understand the volume, structure, and inconsistencies across the library. This audit helped identify which data needed to be surfaced at a glance and which details could live deeper in the experience.
I partnered closely with Sales, instructors, and the Head of Content to understand how scenarios were discussed in real conversations. Rather than designing for idealized search behavior, the system was shaped around real customer questions, sales workflows, and demo constraints.
A core decision was to move beyond a search-only experience. VirTra often emphasizes that content is king and content is inherently visual. Inspired by how platforms like Netflix surface large libraries, the interface leaned into visual discovery supported by structured filters, rather than forcing users to rely on exact text queries.
The experience was intentionally restrained at the top level, showing only the most relevant information needed to guide decisions quickly. Detailed descriptions, capabilities, and metadata were reserved for deeper views, balancing speed with depth.
Throughout the process, every design decision was evaluated through a simple lens:
Would this help someone confidently answer a customer question in real time?
Sales Workflow
The primary workflow was designed for speed and clarity during live demos.
Sales users can quickly filter scenarios by topic, language, simulator compatibility, and other key attributes, instantly seeing how much relevant content exists and previewing what’s available. This allows conversations to stay focused and confident, without awkward pauses or follow-up emails.
Customer Workflow
The primary workflow was designed for speed and clarity during live demos.
Sales users can quickly filter scenarios by topic, language, simulator compatibility, and other key attributes, instantly seeing how much relevant content exists and previewing what’s available. This allows conversations to stay focused and confident, without awkward pauses or follow-up emails.
Content Intelligence was designed as a reusable system, not a one-off tool.
The interface uses the same Microsoft Fluent UI foundation as VOS, ensuring consistency across platforms and touchpoints. Layouts, components, and interaction patterns were intentionally aligned so that sales demos and in-product experiences feel like parts of the same ecosystem.
This approach allowed the tool to scale naturally, supporting future content growth while reinforcing a shared design language across VirTra’s products.
Next projects.
