The Future Technology and User Experience Design Methods

Introduction:

The ongoing disruption in digital technology has changed the existing models of businesses and the way people communicate, learn, and think. This has made the relationship between technology and user experience (UX) to grow mutually. The concept of ‘user experience’ (UX), according to the International Organization for Standardization, means human perception and responses which result from usage or expected usage of a product, a system or a service. The users’ experience generally comprises their preferences, behavior, comfort, emotions, and achievements throughout the process of managing the product.

The process of designing user experience is a complex task but crucial for a seamless users’ digital journey. The real sense of achievement to this incremental progress is attained owing to both the developers who designed the product and the end users. The main goal of the process for UX design is to better meet the requisites and deliver seamless experience while effectively using the innovative technologies. UX design specifies all the components of the interactive system software or hardware which provide information and ways to manage it which allows users to perform certain tasks with the help of an interactive system. In other words, a user experience design is an intermediary between a human and a computer fostering interaction usability is a tool which provides activities for effective interaction for achieving definite goals. Following are new technologies that are taking over the User Experience design space rapidly in the recent years.

UX Design for Immersive Technology

Presently, Augmented Reality is emerging as one of the major technologies. This also projects that the possibilities of improved UX in Augmented Reality are immense. Apps such as Pokémon Go, Instagram, Snapchat are leveraging this technology to bestow users with enriched experiences and making interactions more fun. As Immersion technology becomes widely utilized, UX designers will also have to account for uninterrupted interconnectivity, effective immersive learning and entertainment experiences. Factors such as usability, user safety, interaction process etc., becomes crucial to offer enhanced form of the real physical world creating an immersive experience for the users.

This upcoming of a whole new world of interaction brings on the table the importance of understanding both the users and the platform. The future is looking very promising for the immersive technology paradigm as more industries are moving beyond early experimental implementations and into more prolonged deployments of these applications.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for UX Design

With the 21st century dawning, AI has shown us the real-life business benefits leveraging the information we gathered over the past century. Enterprises, particularly, have learnt to harvest the fruits of AI. From Healthcare to Automotive and from Retail to Capital Markets, organizations have leveraged the capabilities of AI to generate leads, turning leads to potential customers, retaining customers, optimize selling price, predicting customer behaviour, predicting changing customer demands and thereby providing personalized recommendations to the customer and at the same time, suggesting actions based on the data to the business’ management.

AI with its subsidiary technologies like NLP, deep learning, neural network, and machine learning, has served enterprises in fostering competitive advantage within their respective industries. The consolidation of personalization or customization of preferences, cognitive algorithms and ‘gargantuan’ datasets to feed these algorithms have unleashed the true power of AI in delivering leading edge user experience.

User Experience in Cloud Computing 

The ever-evolving landscape of mobile technologies and business without a single workstation requires a stable and secured IT strategy and infrastructure to support the networks, operating systems, and Cloud-based applications. There has been booming demand for fast, scalable, efficient and secured cloud-based tools. Such growth in the cloud traffic is inducing a penetrating demand for effective computing products. This, in turns, offer lucrative opportunity to interaction designers as functionality predates usability that are vital in delivering robust user experiences.

Extension of Connected Devices and UX Design

In today's interconnected and interdependent world, automation is diffusing into everything from smart cities to smart homes. This has significantly given rise to new possibilities for a smarter platform and the future is calling innovations from UX designers across the globe. Thus, UX designers emphasize on the functions and usability of the products for more desirable user experience.

Fundamental Elements of UX Design

UX design is a process which makes the existing experience of the user better. The designers are not designing what a user experience should be, but they are enhancing the experience of the user by looking at the behavioural habits of the users. The factors that give a great user experience are user-friendly, usability, attractive visual design, and desirability of the design.
