Project Overview

Welcome to the project website for Power Xpert Vision. Power Xpert Vision is the product of our capstone project for the Masters in Human-Computer Interaction program at Carnegie Mellon University. Our team of five interdisciplinary masters students worked for eight months to produce a working prototype using research and design methods learned over the course of the program.

Power Xpert is Eaton Corporation’s power management software product that is used by customers to monitor electricity usage, outages, alarms and other data from disparate devices. Eaton identified a need for the improvement of Power Xpert’s user interface and enlisted our team to address usability issues within the application.
