Online HCI and UX Online Seminars organised by Interacting with Computers and British Computer Society Interaction Specialist Group, 23rd May 2022
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/HCIUXseminar-2022/
Every interaction with a digital device is set in some form of physical and human context, and yet the most commonly used tools for UX design are focused purely on the screen. Rather than being a scaffold to build better interfaces, wireframes can feel like the barriers in a cattle ranch, herding us towards a small range of design options, looking inwards towards the device rather than outwards towards our users. The situation is even more difficult when we want to design interactions that involve other senses, such as sound, smells, and touch; or new forms of interaction, such as flexible displays, autonomous cars, smart buildings, and digital fabrication. In this talk I’ll describe both some of my own personal journey and the InContext project that is thinking about more wholistic tools for design that incorporate rich context, multiple modalities, and end-to-end connections between design and development. The talk will outline both our own thinking and outcomes from a series of InContext workshops, most recently at CHI 2022. We do not have answers to all the open questions, but I will also demonstrate several early prototypes addressing different facets of design that are underrepresented in current generation design tools. Most important, I hope that this will open up a roadmap of ideas that others may also follow to create better tools for the next generation of UX designers and developers.

20. Seminar
Series 2022
preliminary outcomes …
• integrate multiple UX designs and stages
• multi-modal and physical interactions as standard
• bridge the 'gap’ between design and development

what next?
workshops => roadmap
senses beyond sight
links to service design
context sketching made easy
early-stage data and architecture
integration … beyond 1970’s filesystem
maybe something for you?
