Unimaginable UX – A Sneak-peek Into The Future of Design
“The year is 2070 & Augmented Emotion Designers all over the world are fascinated by the spellbinding journey of Design, in the last century. Enthusiasts are feeling amused by reading about the predictions made by the Design Pundits, back in the days. While also wearing the farsighted lens, young designers are positive as well as sceptical about the decades to come”
Sounds like the future?
Well, if you simply replace 2070 with 2019 and Augmented Emotion Designers with User Experience Designers, it becomes nothing but the present! I am sure, most of us imagine the future of design with something related to Blockchain, AI, Voice, AR or VR. Interestingly these are the stuff which we barely knew about, 5 years back. So what happened in the last 5 years that brought about a change we couldn’t have even imagined? It is not very different from what happened about a century back.
Come and join me as I speak about how unimaginable the future can be and what we can do to get a ticket to the boat that sails to the future.
