  • Welcome to today’s episode, where we dive into the game-changing Apple Vision Pro. This device is setting new standards in the tech world with its advanced features and the potential to revolutionize user experience design. Let's unpack what makes the Vision Pro a significant leap in spatial computing and explore its impact from a UX perspective.

    Key Learnings:

    The Vision Pro Experience: Apple's Vision Pro, priced at $3,500, is an ambitious step into mixed reality, combining high-quality hardware with immersive experiences. With 24 million pixels across two ultra-high-definition panels, it sets a new benchmark for visual fidelity in the realm of spatial computing.

    Innovative Interaction Model: Moving beyond traditional controllers, the Vision Pro introduces an interaction model based on eye tracking, hand gestures, and voice commands. This innovation paves the way for more intuitive and natural user interfaces, challenging UX designers to reimagine digital interaction.

    Early Adopter Feedback: Initial feedback points to the Vision Pro's potential to enhance productivity and entertainment, though it also underscores the challenges of pioneering technology. Users have noted its transformative capabilities alongside areas for improvement, such as the device's weight and occasional software bugs.

    Future of UX Design: The Apple Vision Pro represents a significant shift towards spatial computing, requiring UX designers to adapt to designing for 3D spaces and augmented realities. This transition highlights the importance of context-aware and situational interface design, suggesting a future where digital and physical worlds converge for more intuitive and engaging experiences.

    Observations on User Interaction: The varied and innovative ways users are integrating the Vision Pro into their daily lives, from professional settings to personal entertainment, illustrate the device's versatility. However, the need for UX enhancements is clear, pointing towards a future where user interfaces are smarter and more situational.

  • In this episode, we're honored to have Sarah Gibbons with us, the Vice President at Nielsen Norman Group. With an illustrious career spanning over a decade, Sarah has championed empathetic design through her roles at Nielsen Norman Group and IBM. She's a thought leader when it comes to design and user experiences.

    1️⃣ General UX for AI
    Research is pivotal for understanding how to navigate AI as a designer. Concepts like "apple picking" and "accordion editing" are shaping the approach to AI products.

    2️⃣ Anthropomorphism in AI
    Skeuomorphism can make AI more relatable and easier to use. Making AI human-like isn't always better; it has to be purposeful and ethical.

    3️⃣ 4 Degrees of Anthropomorphism
    The emotional bond between users and AI needs to be managed ethically to prevent exploitation.

    4️⃣ Future of Design
    Sarah suggests that designers should be prepared for the growing influence of AI in UX. Continual learning and adaptation will be key for designers.

    5️⃣ Resources for the Future
