Miniclass: Designing Context – Aware experiences
30 minutes (brief overview, brief activity, Q&A)
FEBRUARY 10th 7:00AM PST; 10:00AM EST; 3:00 PM GMT; 7:30 PM IST
Agenda:
Context-awareness is the jewel in the UX crown. Why? Because context-sensitive design meets users’ context-of-use needs– as important as ease-of-use. Context dictates whether a design will withstand the stress test of social, emotional, or physical constraints, interruptions, or adjustments the situation requires. Humans work and play in context: Context dictates behavioral choices. Context-awareness is also a skill teams need to acquire, in order to plan and design high-performing user experiences.
In this Miniclass, we will cover context-sensing and context-aware approaches to design. We will look at how emerging technologies (AI, Speech, Digital Home, XR, Mobile, and more) need a context-aware computing approach to be truly successful.
Topics we will cover in the Miniclass:
- Why ‘Task is King, Context is Queen’.
- Context as UX requirement: How to capture context and map it to your design, algorithm, or UX strategy.
- Inclusive Design context-sensing: strategies for emerging inclusive technology.
- Building context intelligence in your team.
- Q&A
