1. The Future of Design

2. a bit about me

3. and a bit about you?

4. humans +
technology

5. what is the
“future of design”?

6. seriously, what does
that even mean?

7. new technology,
new challenges

8. for example:
industrial design

10. computation

13. architects,
don’t feel left out!

14. spatial interfaces
+
wearables

15. but first
a word of caution

16. skepticism

17. spatial interfaces:
gestural interfaces

22. • 3d motion for 3d modeling is a natural pairing
• high levels of feedback is essential, especially
for z axis motion
• edge targets are easy to trigger accidentally and
even more problematic when leaving them
chooses a selection
• how do you control object orientation and use
tools?

23. spatial interfaces:
augmented reality

27. • place information in a physical context
• targeted information delivery
• slow to respond to user actions
• higher production value would help

28. wearables

29. wearables:
the establishment
