Consent Based Event Profile Lens

Design an event networking tool that reveals a person's chosen professional profile only after they share a scannable badge code.

Mobile

The brief

Understand the problem

Background

Augmented overlays can make conference introductions easier, but identifying people by face or gathering information from across the internet removes consent and creates serious privacy and safety risks.

User context

Aya attends a design conference and wants to share her current role, talk topics, and portfolio with people she chooses. She does not want strangers to identify her from a camera view.

Product problem

The useful interaction must be rebuilt around explicit badge sharing, limited fields, revocable access, and a visible distinction between verified event data and personal links.

Objective

Create profile setup, badge scan consent, lightweight camera overlay, connection request, and access revocation.

What to design

Define the experience

Required experience

  • Selective event profile setup
  • Explicit scan and reveal
  • Connection request
  • Profile access management

Screens and states

  • Profile visibility setup
  • Badge scanner
  • Profile overlay
  • Connection request
  • Shared-access history

Core user flow

Follow the critical path

  1. 01

    Aya chooses which fields to share at the event

  2. 02

    She presents a rotating badge code

  3. 03

    Another attendee scans it and sees the approved profile

  4. 04

    Aya accepts a connection and later revokes portfolio access

Product rules

Requirements and constraints

Requirements

  • Do not use face recognition
  • Require an intentional code presentation
  • Use short-lived scannable tokens
  • Let every field have a visibility level
  • Show and revoke past access

Constraints

  • Event connectivity may be congested
  • Screenshots cannot be fully prevented
  • Profiles expire after the event unless both people connect

Reality check

States worth considering

A badge code is photographed
The wrong attendee is scanned
A user revokes access offline
An organizer removes an attendee
Someone reports harassment

Ready-to-use content

Mock data

Use this content to test hierarchy and realistic data states. You can expand it when the concept needs more depth.

Aya's shared profile

  • Product designer at Fieldwork
  • Open to discussing accessibility research
  • Portfolio visible for 24 hours
  • Email hidden until connection accepted

Finish line

What to deliver

  • Five mobile screens
  • A permission model for event-only, connections, and private fields

If you want more

Optional extensions

Add organization booth profiles
Design accessible non-camera code entry

Optional direction

Visual resources

Use these as a starting constraint if you want one. They are not part of the required solution.
