Smarter User Interfaces

Abstract

We’re all familiar with the buzzwords around “what’s coming next” in interaction design. The tech industry is bringing ubiquitous computing, wearable technology, augmented reality, and more precise sensors to the masses. Finally, the technological utopia we’ve been promised seems like it’s on its way. This is all well and good but we need to start having a more realistic conversation about how this new world will effect the visual design of user interfaces. This presentation is part of that conversation and will explore some of the opportunities and pitfalls that designers might encounter in the coming years.
