HoloStock

A different way to look at stocking sports stores.

Opportunity

Design an experience to help employees stock shelves of a large sporting goods store. Help them know which items need to be replaced, when to do it, and how to do it efficiently.

Research

  • Studied stockers from Sportsman's Warehouse, Big Five Sporting Goods, and Walmart.
  • Viewed trade materials on retail inventory control.
  • Validated that employees batch stocking work by store section and rely on imperfect perpetual inventory data.
HoloStock research notes

Exploration

A handheld app still requires employees to context shift and look down at a screen while moving products. The concept explores whether an AR headset could keep directions and inventory context in the work environment.

Mixed Reality Design

I created a 3D sports store and UI elements following HoloLens UI guidelines, then explored spatial mapping, directional cues, and barcode-aware inventory flows.
