Conversational Cars and Helpful Homes: UX research & design techniques for new contexts and emerging technologies

Advanced interfaces powered by AI are opening up new use cases and contextual considerations for UX research and design. Smart speakers like Amazon Echo and Google Home are the vanguard of this change, with smart homes, connected cars, and other “intelligent” hardware following fast behind. As interfaces become invisible and devices exist as part of interconnected ecosystems, UX professionals will find increasing opportunities to design and test experiences for this new “ubiquitous computing” paradigm—will you be one of them?

In this forward-looking talk with present day implications, a Principal UX Researcher will walk you through some of the contextual considerations and ethical implications of designing for these emerging technologies. You’ll learn the UX research frameworks and techniques he uses for AI-driven technologies that are interconnected, personalized, and which change over time.
