The Original Version

I. PROBLEMS

Users are familiar with the original Google Recaptcha with its distinctive color and images. However, there are some problems that users often encounter that we should take into account.

​

1. Sometimes difficult to read

The most obvious problem users usually have with Google Recaptcha is that sometimes... their images look so similar to each other that they are so hard to identify the correct selection

2. Microinteraction

With the original microinteraction, when users click the selected image, the selected image gets smaller and a tick box appears. The overall design of Google Recaptcha is easy enough to use, but it can be improved to bring out the best experience to users.

3. Hover Effect

Currently, Google Recaptcha does not have any hover effects when users hover over the options. Therefore, I believe adding a hover effect with greatly improve users' experience. 

What I Hope To Improve

II. GOALS

​

1. Pop-up Box

With the original version, Google Recaptcha automatically after users tick on the check box "I am not a Robot". I personally believe this step is unnecessary. To simplify the process, users can initially fill in all required content, then click on the "Submit" button, the pop-up page will automatically appear, which minimizes the process from 3 to 2 steps. 

​

2. Hover Effect

The original Google Recaptcha does not have a hover effect. I believe adding a hover effect will not only draw attention from users but also make the site interactive while letting users know its functionality.

​

3. Sound Effect

Same with Hover Effect, the original  Google Recaptcha does not have a sound effect. The sound effect I selected for this project is the sound of an unlocked door. With this sound, I want to welcome all users to the site with fun and energetic sound, so they can feel like they are entering a house and are welcomed. 

The Result

With the helpful feedback from Professor Jervis, I finally completed the project and ready to present my final result. The following link will leads to my self-code microinteraction.
