8. Keeping Users in the Flow Emotional Connection
Increases Engagement
Spatial Computing is about
Space, not just Volume
Things to Discuss

9. Keeping Users in the Flow

10. When “Flow” is
achieved, there is a
heightened state of
awareness, where a
person is their most
productive and creative.

11. Inefficient Workflows
are expensive, with
“unnecessary
interruptions” costing
businesses an estimated
$650 billion per year.

13. Customers are
completing singular
tasks across multiple
devices

14. Emotional Connection Increases Engagement

15. Engagement
increases when
customers feel an
emotional
connection to a
product or brand.

16. Engagement
increases when
customers feel an
emotional
connection to a
product or brand.

17. Spatially contextual
experiences do this by
augmenting people, as well
as the world, fostering new
emotional paradigms.

18. Spatial Computing is about Space, not volume

19. Spatially informed and
natural interactions are
breaking down the walls
between the digital &
physical.

20. Experiences that are
physically connected to
people feel powerful and
personal.

21. Traditionally, relatable visual
cues have been employed to
help people adapt to new
technological advancements.

22. “Behavioral Skeuomorphism”
affords emotional impact by
employing familiar actions to
digital experiences.

23. Our current Fluent
experiences start where
customers are today.

24. Our current Fluent
experiences start where
customers are today.

25. When 2D experiences
spatially adapt, they can be
summoned to create natural
interactive opportunities.

26. This unlocks new relatable
patterns that are emotionally
connective and prolong flow.

28. Common Controls can adapt
across different devices,
responding to a variety of
natural workflows.

29. So Now Then
Fluent Design is more
than a visual treatment,
it is a system to connect
experiences.
Mixed Reality affords
opportunities for deeper
emotional engagement
and higher productivity.
You don’t need to be an
expert in 3D interactive
design to create compelling
spatial experiences.
