Neuro Hive

Smart 3D Virtual Workspace

Project Overview

Exploring how immersive 3D environments and AI-powered task management could transform the remote work experience.

Overview:

Neuro Hive is a passion project where I designed the MVP concept for a smart 3D virtual workspace that blends productivity tools with immersive collaboration. The platform introduces AI-driven task prioritization, distraction-reduction features, and interactive 3D office spaces designed to simulate the energy of real-world teamwork. With burnout becoming a growing concern in remote work, the project aimed to reimagine digital workspaces that help people feel more connected, supported, and balanced.

Key responsibilities:

  • Researched gaps in existing remote work platforms and VR collaboration tools.
  • Defined information architecture and designed task flows across VR, desktop, and mobile.
  • Created immersive 3D workspace prototypes with clear visual hierarchy and minimal cognitive load.
  • Explored integrations with productivity tools like Slack, Trello, and Zoom.
  • Delivered a conceptual prototype highlighting immersive collaboration and AI assistance.

Outcome:

  • Designed a multi-platform prototype envisioning how AI and 3D spaces could coexist.
  • Created immersive 3D office environments with whiteboards, team zones, and AI assistants.
  • Illustrated how AI can support focus and balance rather than overwhelm users.
  • Framed a scalable system adaptable to remote-first companies and hybrid teams.

Problem Space

How might we design a virtual workspace that reduces burnout while helping remote teams feel more connected and productive?

The rise of remote work has created both opportunities and challenges. While it allows flexibility, it has also led to distraction overload, fragmented tools, and social isolation. Current platforms like Slack or Teams help communication but fail to replicate the natural flow of collaboration in physical offices.

Workers often struggle to maintain focus, manage workload balance, and avoid burnout. Neuro Hive set out to explore how immersive design and AI could address these gaps.

Overview of Project approach

Concept Development

Defined the vision for an AI-powered 3D workspace blending productivity, focus, and team well-being.

Problem Definition

Outlined challenges in remote collaboration distraction, lack of connection, and digital fatigue.

Ideation + Design

Designed immersive 3D environments and task management flows using Figma and Unity.

Prototyping

Built interactive mockups to visualize AI meeting assistants and spatial team interactions.

Iteration + Delivery

Refined UI for performance, accessibility, and seamless multi-platform continuity.

Project Approach

Over 8 weeks, I led the end-to-end design process from secondary research to high-fidelity prototypes.

I began with competitive analysis of productivity platforms and VR tools, mapped remote worker pain points, and created conceptual user journeys. From there, I sketched wireframes, designed 3D spaces, and prototyped key flows in Unity and Figma. Iteration focused on simplifying VR onboarding, balancing AI prompts with usability, and ensuring multi-platform continuity.

Timeline:

  • 2 Weeks: Research into remote work challenges & competitive analysis
  • 3 Weeks: User journey mapping & wireframing
  • 4 Weeks: Designing immersive workspaces + task flows
  • 2 Weeks: Prototyping in Unity + responsive design for desktop/mobile
  • 1 Week: Iteration and documentation

User Insight Details

Synthesizing research uncovered recurring themes that shaped the design direction.

Remote workers don’t just want more features they want tools that reduce complexity. Clarity, focus, and well-being are often more valuable than endless integrations. Insights suggested that immersive spaces could foster the spontaneity missing in remote work, while AI could provide subtle support rather than overwhelming users with data.

Key Insights:

  • Subtle AI is better: Guidance must feel supportive, not intrusive.
  • Immersion encourages connection: 3D environments replicate casual office dynamics.
  • Balance matters: Monitoring workloads prevents burnout.
  • Cross-platform access is essential: Not everyone will use VR daily.

Exploring Solutions

To solve the issues of distraction, disconnection, and burnout, I designed Neuro Hive as a multi-platform, AI-powered workspace.

Solutions included:

The solution combined immersive 3D environments for collaboration with AI task prioritization, meeting assistants, and well-being tools. Focus features helped users protect time for deep work, while dashboards provided visibility into workload balance. Designed to scale across VR, desktop, and mobile, the platform blended futuristic immersion with everyday usability.

Metrics + Learnings

While the startup did not launch the redesigned site, the project highlighted the potential for significant business and user impact.

Metrics & Engagement (projected):

  • 40% boost in productivity through smarter task prioritization.
  • 25% reduction in burnout risk through workload monitoring.
  • Higher engagement through immersive, gamified collaboration.

Future Development & Feasibility:

 If further developed, Neuro Hive would begin with a desktop-first MVP focusing on AI task management and workload balance, before expanding into VR environments. Partnerships with existing platforms (Slack, Trello, Zoom) would ensure adoption, while Unity prototypes could test feasibility of immersive interactions at scale.
