Designing for future devices,
Every day we have new devices flooding the market which reach million of users. They provide a potential mountain of new creative, technological solutions; or sometimes they represent a technological flop. The way we design these new products is essential to insure success and crucially: also making it a relevant and a long-lasting solution to a customer problem.
Every design project has its own unique challenges and opportunities. In order to be most impactful and successful as designers, we need to use research to identify real use cases, pain points and opportunities, and avoid generating features by committee or based on assumptions.
In my talk, I will be discussing the challenges of designing for future devices, and present a case study of a recent project I led for the design of the Akbank banking app for the Apple Watch. This talk will cover the following areas:
- Understanding the domain
- Identifying and understanding the target audience
- Making the design contextually relevant
- Mastering the devices’ capabilities
- Various ways of prototyping potential solutions
- Creating your own interaction guidelines
- Validating solutions by user testing
Join my talk to find out more about these proven design methodologies and how they could be applied to your design projects.
