Hi,

 

Is it possible to display an alexa voice prototype on a presentation screen? So that it becomes design
displayed on external screen and controlled by alexa. I'm using amazon alexa echo.

Thnx Ares. 

 

I am still having problems linking my prototypes to fire TV. The set up that I use is the following. Design in Adobe XD on an Apple Macbook Pro - Amazon Echo 2nd Generation - Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K. Can you help me or explain how I visually get my prototypes on television?

 

Thank you very much.

 

Nicky

Hey Nicky, I might be wrong, but my guess is that you're expecting too much from this feature. The goal of Adobe XD is to create a design and view a mock-up or test a prototype on a computer display, and not to actually and technically make it work. Hooking your TV up to your Mac only expands the display, so it won't let it start working as a real app yet. You still need the Mac to temporarily perform all the interacting.

Based on your design, the developers can make the real magic work...

Thank you Peter.

 

I am not currently looking for the technical details. But more about how I can present my prototypes on TV coupled with Amazon echo. The video below uses an echo show. Is it possible to use a fire TV instead of the echo show and review prototypes on a TV?

Please review:https://theblog.adobe.com/introducing-voice-prototyping-in-adobe-xd/

 

Whether it’s including voice commands in a mobile app, adding speech playback for an in-car navigation system, or using both technologies on voice platforms such as Amazon Alexa, Adobe XD now allows designers to design, prototype, and share digital experiences that extend beyond the screen.

We are also introducing the first Adobe XD UI kit specifically created for Amazon Alexa’s new front-end framework, the Alexa Presentation Language (APL). This comprehensive kit contains the styles and components needed to create experiences for Amazon Alexa.

 

Here’s how to get started with the Amazon Alexa UI Kit:

  • Step 1: Get the latest software. Make certain you have the latest version of Adobe XD.
  • Step 2: Download the Amazon Alexa VUI Kit for Adobe XD.
  • Step 3: Explore the prototype. This VUI kit allows you to use components from the Alexa Presentation Language (APL), along with APL colors and fonts that help you create authentic experiences for Echo Spot, Echo Show, and Fire TV. You’ll also be able to access Alexa Presentation Language templates.
