Your tech may move in any direction, but if the basis of your experience is flawed, you might as well go back to the DOS like frameworks of the past. User Experience has become the shining edge of the mercury-like-movement we call technology. Companies simply cannot afford to let interactions pass by their fingers, or can they..?

Voice Experiences.

Tech has become a conversation in which we ask questions along with generation Y & Alpha. We no longer live in the hello world and touch era alone. Siri, Alexa and digital assistance’s help us in our learning processes and everyday work via our audio senses. Comscore estimates that 50% of all searches will be voice searches as of 2020. Contextual research and user journey mapping is therefore vital to today’s business success.

Motion design & Video.

Interaction designers are planning and showcasing amazing use cases for intricate motion design with sketch and Invision studio. With CSS animations finally maturing, there is little which is not possible. Enterprise has simply been forced to follow suit in engaging their audiences in order to reinforce their trusted brand identity. Keep and an eye open for that explanatory video on your company home page. ICO’s and live streaming have triggered a need for video to become a medium which explains business cases faster.

Design Systems.

Design systems are one of the hottest topics as companies embrace the need to document their own standards to address their backlog in their visual language. Design collaboration, documentation and OCSS has started to plug themselves into the development process of the engineers and technical gurus of old. 

In the same way agile shocked the waterfall methodology ,so design has sparked the industry to focus on creative problem solving. Design thinking and workshops are becoming a norm which drives innovation and forces stakeholders to collaborate. As it is said: No man is an island. Speak up to your fellow colleagues and voice assistance’s alike. Collaborate and explore as you try not to let the mercury of tech and UX slip through your hands.
