DesignamiteFM # 5 - UX Design Beyond the Screen

DesignamiteFM

Episode five is all about UX Design Beyond the Screen. Often, as experience designers, we tend to limit ourselves to designing just around the screens, but the term means a lot more. In this episode, we explore different ways to think of experience design taking real-world scenarios as examples.

We touch upon topics like architecture, print design, service design, branding & packaging design, user manuals, car controls, the touch screen in a Tesla Model 3, the Tesla AutoPilot, the SpaceX dashboard UI, micro-copy design, US road signs, experience design for elevators, the psychology of waiting, designing for the internet of things (IoT), sustainable design, designing for extended reality (XR), gesture controls using Google's Project Soli in the Pixel 4, tactile displays, and smell & sound design.
