Building Better Interfaces: Eyebot’s Collaboration with Rocket Farm Studios
Discovery
The Opportunity
Eyebot, a vision test kiosk provider, was looking to elevate the user experience of their Android-based kiosk UI, which enables users to perform self-administered vision tests. With the initial UI developed by another provider, Eyebot needed a more polished version and sought a local partner to help take it to the next level. This led them to Rocket Farm Studios, a Boston-based team known for their expertise in app design and development.
Jack Moldave, CTO of Eyebot, discovered Rocket Farm Studios after an extensive search for a full-service firm capable of both design and project management. A key requirement was a partner in Boston who could collaborate closely and offer seamless communication—something that proved challenging with previous overseas developers.
- Rocket Farm Studios reimagined Eyebot's vision test kiosk with an intuitive, user-friendly interface designed for effortless navigation. The goal was to create a visually engaging and accessible experience, guiding users through each step of the vision test with confidence and ease.
- To enhance functionality, Rocket Farm Studios integrated calls to action with online glasses retailers, enabling users to purchase glasses or secure a doctor-signed prescription immediately after completing their test. These features streamlined the user journey, blending convenience with innovation.
- Rocket Farm Studios designed, developed, and rigorously tested the UI from scratch, ensuring a seamless experience. Their collaborative approach and focus on usability highlighted their expertise in creating interfaces that are intuitive, functional, and impactful.
Design
UI Design
Rocket Farm Studios took Eyebot's basic vision and transformed it into a sophisticated and user-friendly experience. They began by auditing the existing code and conducting comprehensive UX design work to ensure a cohesive user journey.
The team worked closely with Eyebot's founders and software engineer, creating UI assets and graphics on Figma before implementing them in Android.
We knew the general direction, but Rocket Farm Studios helped refine our vision and make it truly engaging."

Development
Rocket Farm Studios designed, developed, and tested the entire UI for the Android tablet-based kiosk. This included creating a full vision test flow and working with partners to add features like integrated calls to action.
The new UI incorporates smooth transitions, an intuitive layout, and clear paths for users to purchase products or receive prescriptions via Eyebot's telemedical network.
The development team ensured that the app remained robust, handling various integrations while maintaining a focus on a clean and user-centric experience. By combining their technical proficiency and focus on usability, Rocket Farm Studios delivered a comprehensive and engaging product.
Compared to previous developers, Rocket Farm Studios makes communication easy. They understand what we need and are highly efficient in delivering results."
