the future of user interface

THE FUTURE OF USER INTERFACE

JEROME LACOTE :E-mail : mail@jeromelacote.com

I’m a Visual and Experience Designer

MY EXPERIENCE

From Analog to Digital to Interactive

6um : my first web design studio in the internet bubble.

A Time of Freedom & Experimentation

Videogames Industry

Structured Team and UI specialization

Example: Midnight Club

From Console to Social and Mobile

• Free to play(similar to web services)

• Viral

• Touchscreen

• Small screen – High resolution

• Product sold upfront (similar to movie industry)

• Not really viral

• Controller

• Big screen – low resolution

UI/UX is a Mature discipline• It’s valued by stack holders and customers

• Pattern are identified and Best Practices are defined

• Tools are mature : Sketch, Adobe XD

• It starts to be boring but the landscape is going to change soon and the cycle will start again… Stay Tuned

UI≠UX

My New Challenges

Connect all your devices, data and sensors

A custom virtual Heads Up Display

CONCEPTUALLY

What is UI?• a layer between a user and  a system

The interface is the support of interactivity

It’s a Dialog

To interact with an object, “a machine”

What does it mean in the digital world?• Interface are virtual (or they are devices: mouse, keyboards)• We don’t press a button, • We press a representation of a button

Is it a switch button?

Skeuomorphism vs flat design

Skeuomorphism vs Flat vs Material Design

Skeuomorphism vs flat design

FAIL ! GOOD

Usability is overrated!• A Necessity but not a Goal!

• A toy not a tool!

• Friction has value.

• Emotion is not Usability.

• We need meaningful experience.

THE NEW FRONTIER

Towards More Natural Interaction• Mimic real life human-human interaction (gesture) • A degree of enhancement or abstraction.

c

Back to the things (the IOT)

• Smartphone is the Master Device but …

• Objects are more connected and autonomous

• We’ll interact more with virtual world with physical devices

c

Voice control

Voice control : cons

• Low tolerance to poor performance.• Weak Feedback.

VR/AR : the future of computing?

• More space

• Productivity

• Reality Simulation

• Presence

VR / AR / Video360

VR AR Video360

Virtual Mixed Reality

Games Application Movies

Example :

Interacting in 3D change the paradigm• 2D Legacy

Interacting in 3D change the paradigm• 3D representation implies 3D interaction

Oculus Rift

HTC Vive

Google Cardboard

Samsung Gear VR

Gaze Detection: Samsung

Gaze Detection: Fove

Google Glass

META VISION

Microsoft Hololens

VR interaction : What’s new?

• Gaze selection

• Motion tracking

• Natural Interaction.

• Tangible objects with magical capacity!

• X-Y-Z ≠ X-Y-Z maybe X-Y-Z -> X-Y-time or X-Y-View

What does need improvement?• Inputs devices have to get better .. Or we we have to

get better at using them;-)

• More content!

• More applications!
