What's next for Interaction Design? The future is now! Robots, autonomous machines, AI, IoT, sensors, data, networks and intelligent systems. Here's a whirlwind review of some of the more transformational aspects of Interaction Design in the coming years, as portrayed by a select few of the fantastic speakers at interaction16 in Helsinki earlier this month. #IXDASYD #IXD16
How Will the Rise of AI and Robotics Change the Way We Work and Live Charlotte Han
In the face of a possible robot apocalypse where many of us could be replaced by AI and robots that don’t have to be perfect but merely better than us, maybe not all hopes for humans are lost. Humans may still be able to thrive and live a fulfilled life, as long as we have the agile principles in mind.
Make: Society @ The Red Vic - Embassy NetworkNick Pinkston
In this talk, I discuss that social implications of the Maker Movement. I cover the future of Education & Manufacturing and its ability to influence society.

On March 11, 2011 Todd Marks presented The Singularity is Here at SXSW Interactive.
The topic of Singularity is heating up as more people discuss what will become of the human race when computers exceed our intelligence. This presentation explores several theories about the future of mankind and points out how the technology leading us there is already HERE.
“The Singularity is Near” is a book and movie written by futurist and prominent Singularitarian, Ray Kurzweil. It is a documentary with a B-line drama where Ray’s digital alter ego Ramona sets off on a quest to pass the Turing Test. Passing this test signifies the day computers can “think”, which came close to occurring a few years ago and is not far off.
Learn what milestones we have already reached toward Singularity and what technologies present and future are leading us there. We will explore Location Based Services, Augmented Reality, Bio-Feedback and Smart Agents. We will analyze current trends in Bio-Technology, Nano-Technology, Computing and Robotics and discuss the possibility of Digital Immortality.
You can't artificial intelligence without ART, why AI needs the human touch.Swathi Young
Professions like doctors and lawyers have courses on ethics. As machine learning is the foundation of AI applications, the systems we build are as good as the data that is fed. Hence there is an immense need for diversification of data by engaging with a diverse set of folks including women, minorities and cultural data. This presentation takes a look at why Ethics is so important to humanize these applications.
Dystopian AI. Is human-machine coexistence already here?Alexandra Petruș
Presentation held at IWD Greece 2019. Points touched on: Goldilocks rule of AI; AI & Society in China; Adverse use of AI and Developing economies.
What are your thoughts for a data driven society? And could an algorithmic governance be implemented in Europe?

Key note to meetups of the Brazilian Cowork Industry on Society30, new business models, collaborative economy, Seats2meet.com and more....Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, September 2015.
Presented at Agile Australia 2016.
My team has spent 5 years figuring out how best to follow Agile methodologies and maximise the opportunities we have through design. This journey has had many ups and downs. Along the way we have tried many new methods, evaluated, twisted and turned to get where we are today. My guess (and hope) is that there will be many more twists and turns in the future.
One thing I have learned is that the ability to communicate the value of what we do and the way we do it is paramount to the continuous improvement in our practices.
In this presentation I will step through 5 diagrams I frequently draw on whiteboards that not merely explain the way we work as designers but help others to understand why we design. These will be our “designer mindset”.
Take away clear visualisations around experience, design thinking, process, expertise, collaboration and the effectiveness of design. Recreate and iterate these visualisations to enhance your own designer’s mindset.
What is trust and what does it mean? I'll explore the concept of trust, why it's so important, boundaries and context, how we can earn it and what it means for business. I'll illustrate how we might leverage trust to design products and services that encourage an equitable society.
The Perfectionist’s Bathroom
What does it take to get a User Focused Design process introduced into a large Australian Health Insurer – some pitfalls, some observations and just a little bit about bathroom design.
Ten minute presentation that attempts to distill a handful of IxD14 talks down into 30 second snippets then questions what it means when people say design is part art and part science. Special thanks to the legends: Bernard Lahousse, Christina Wodtke, Klaus Krippendorff, Stephanie Akkaoui Hughes, Giles Colborne, Dan Rosenberg, Irene Au, Peter Bil’ak, Antonio de Pasquale, Jason Mesut and Dave Malouf.
Potholes on the Journey to Design TransparencyJake Causby
Design transparency is the most effective way to communicate with your stakeholders and give them insight into your design process. This presentation focuses on cultural changes, ways to share, and how to collaborate with stakeholders. To hear the audio, visit http://www.uxaustralia.com.au/uxaustralia-2012/potholes-on-the-journey-to-design-transparency
The gap between physical and digital has blurred: we use Wiis to get in shape, computers to order a pizza, or our smartphone’s GPS to find hot dates. People want to interact with products and services when they want to and how they want to – and that’s not always on the web.
The future of design is everywhere the customer touches our product or service - digital or physical. User experience practitioners must move beyond the screen to designing a holistic customer experience that is seamless across channels and devices.
A Million Little Ideas – Design Panel
Farbs, Terry Paton, John Lycette, Ash Donaldson. Chair: Simon Joslin
Everyone has an idea for a game (or a million of them), but how do you identify which ones to pursue and which ones to leave by the wayside. And how do you evolve that idea into something workable, incorporating everyone else’s ideas along the way. This session looks at the pursuit of that one brilliant, shining, life changing moment – and the work that goes into making it real.

Affecting relationships with alcohol using Behaviour DesignAsh Donaldson
How do you change something as endemic in Australian culture as excessive alcohol consumption? This isn’t a typical consulting job. It requires a design partnership.
Hello Sunday Morning approached Tobias & Tobias to help them better understand their users and find more effective ways of helping them change the relationship they have with alcohol.
In this presentation, we’ll walk through how we’ve been working together to do research, analysis and design:
Forming a design partnership
Immersing everyone in research
Using Behaviour Design to create design hypotheses
Working with multi-disciplinary teams to define and carry out experiments
Evolving the platform
One of the criticisms we’ve all heard about the Agile methodology is that it encourages mediocrity. It clouds our long-term vision with small-scale “quick wins” and forces us to focus on gradual improvements on an unambitious existing product. This talk aims to dispel this myth by distinguishing the difference between vision and process. The truth is that Agile does not stifle creativity, it does not prevent us from looking further into the future. I’ll give real-world examples of ways teams can continue to foster their long-term ambitions whilst maintaining a process which focusses on the here-and-now.
Wish you had more time to deeply understand customer reasoning before making communication and design decisions?
Mental models diagrams represent the underlying philosophies and emotions that drive people's behavior, matched up with the ways you support them with your organization's products and services. Empathizing with people's underlying motivations opens up different avenues for supporting their behavior. A true model illuminates the users' world and allows you to generate better ideas and tell a more compelling story to product developers and business executives.
In this presentation, Indi Young, author of Mental Models: Aligning Design Strategy with Human Behavior, discusses how to make sure this model truly represents the root of what is driving your users' natural behavior. It is easy to make assumptions; much research stops at a preference, task, or observation level. But there is so much more to find out about people. Indi addresses how to coax the model toward representing the true roots of people's behavior in order to provide a clear roadmap of where your organization should invest its energies, and also where it shouldn't, allowing you to stretch your limited resources and maximize your precious time. Mental models will also allow you to derive an information architecture from users' tasks that will last 10 years, and get everyone from discordant team members to busy executives on the same page with respect to design and planning. (Presentation given at the August 2012 meeting of a local San Francisco group of designers and writers.)
What if employees were given information about THEIR health and habits in the same way it was given to a world-class researcher or scientist? What would mountains of actionable data do to THEIR LIVES, and how could THEY improve how THEY live?
It started with life logging and the quantified self, and now the first data driven health prosumers are taking over. From measuring the decay of DNA to adjusting the humidity in their homes, the citizen scientist of this decade will radically redefine healthcare, as we understand it.
We will explore:
1. How the role of clinician, physician, and facility will change in this world
2. The role of data collection in understanding future health
3. How to correlate environmental conditions to your biological systems -I would not make this a call out.
4. How emerging trends in genetics and home health will change our world in the next two years
5. The top five things out of 100 you can do to help employees and yourselves start taking charge of your health.
Edtech summit 2018 - Unlearning to learnShah Widjaja
A short presentation given during EdTech Summit 2018 in Hong Kong to set context for a panel discussion to discuss the future of learning, specifically on how to foster intrinsic motivation for not only individuals, but also organisations.
Bigger than Any One: Solving Large Scale Data Problems with People and MachinesTyler Bell
The informatic challenges of 2013 and beyond are bigger than any one company. This presentation provides an overview of a number of recent, successful crowd-sourced and community-driven applications that combine ‘Big Data’ approaches with Community involvement. The speaker dives into the numbers and specific details of Factual’s approach to large-scale, multi-authored data collection and aggregation, and how the company’s data ethos and business positioning dictates both the shape of its technology and its vision of large-scale, collective data ecosystems.
Artificial Intelligence – a buzzword, new era of IT or new threats?SecuRing
In my presentation I will show you a couple of applications that use artificial intelligence in order to improve our security and how easily it is to use other AI to break it. You may like it or not, but natural language processing, deep learning, computer vision are being developed very rapidly and already have significant impact on your life, working behind the scenes of multiple services you use every day.
However, as a great man once said "with great power comes great responsibility", same with the AI - the risk of abuse appears. I will show you how to beat AI using rogue AI, how a crowd-sourced human intelligence can beat AI, or finally how a small, unnoticed by human change in the input data (constructed by AI of course) can severly impact the output of AI processing. I will focus on applications that improve our security not only in the cyber world (like CAPTCHA), but also in real life world (e.g. car safety systems).
Last, but not least, I will tell you how to prevent such abuses and why it is so important to understand how above-mentioned tools work.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far. Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors. From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.

Editor's Notes
Interaction16! Helsinki. Always a great conference with a very high standard of talks.
There were many practical / process oriented talks that I would recommend watching on vimeo, but with this limited time I’d just like to touch on a couple of talks that mainly focus on where tech and design are headed.
It says “life as we know it”. They’re not going to kill us.
A smart phone can have up to around 14 different sensors, all constantly generating data, which is used by a plethora of apps, on multiple networks, all of which have the possibility of sharing this data with each other via the many APIs these networks have. Taking that data, and acting on it, kicking off a series of events that create new outcomes, more data, that more algorithms can respond to, triggering more data on more systems.
It's not hard to see how, when we design something on a single system, that the impact of what we're designing has far further reaching implications than our design intent.
And that's not even taking into account self-learning Artificial Intelligence!
Kate Darling tries to allay this fear by showing us a video of the World Robot Soccer Championship. They need a lot of human assistance. They’re always falling over and getting themselves into trouble.
However, robots are increasingly being used in the workplace to perform tasks. People are worried they'll take away jobs en mass. Kate's prediction is that we're going to see a long phase where humans and robots are going to need to work together in the workplace. Because robots are good at their specific task, but when something goes wrong, or something happens that they're not used to they are terrible at dealing with it.
Robots are really just beginning to interact with humans. As humans, we're very physical and emotional creatures. We tend to project human qualities onto robots and develop an emotional bond with robots. Robots are beginning to be designed with this in mind.
Examples…
Furby: cute / learn how to speak English
Pleo: cute / cries when you hold it upside down by its tail
Boston Dynamics Military robot: looks inhumane
Examples of robots helping in Health and Education.
Robots replacing humans (we need a human touch)
Privacy & security: Access to too much of my personal data / hackable?
Emotional manipulation: robot might be able coerce people into revealing more data about themselves than they would ever enter into a database
As kind of an extension to robots, we have AI…
Chris Noessel gave us a fantastic description of the various levels of AI:
Singularity:
— intelligence surpassing all current human control or understanding
— unpredictable or even unfathomable to human intelligence
We’re very much playing in the “narrow” area of AI
Chris introduced us to the concept of Agentive Tech…
Three examples are Roomba, Narrative and Google Car
We’re only just scratching the surface of what might be possible with agentive tech.
— “Sky’s the limit”
Good Night Lamp
Switch the big lamp on and the little one also goes on and can be anywhere else in the world. Designed to give loved ones a sense of presence in the lives of people who can’t be close. People are using to signal other meanings too. I wish I had one when I was working for the guys in London (explain)
A few other examples of IoT…
Propeller
Gain real insights into your triggers. Reduce the hassle of managing asthma or COPD. Stay connected to your family and care team. Propeller helps you understand what may be causing your symptoms, so you can live a healthy, active life.
Artemis
Personal safety: tap three times if in danger. Built-in microphone and tracking device. Operator can hear everything and despatch help if needed. You can signal false alarm.
Flood Network UK
Would you like to know water levels when you're not home? Flood Monitor contributes to the resilience of your community by sharing this information. You can install a Flood Monitor and see your readings live on the map every 15 minutes. Helps communities and officials monitor and predict flood levels.
Evadrop
The shower that conserves water and tracks your water usage by minimising waste.
Hello Tractor
“Smart Tractor” specifically for small farmers unique needs. Equipped with various attachments, owners can tailor its use for a variety of crops and stages of the production cycle, allowing them to serve their customers throughout the year. The GPS antenna allows Hello Tractor to track its usage and gather data on location, market trends, and uptake.
The Air Quality Egg
A sensor system and community designed to allow anyone to collect and publish Nitrogen Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide concentrations around or outside their home. These two gases are the most indicative elements related to urban air pollution that are sense-able by inexpensive, DIY sensors
Grove Ecosystem
The Ecosystem harnesses natural relationships between fish, microbes, and plants, to bring fresh food and life into your home. Enjoy hyper local, sustainably-grown produce, right from the comfort of your living room!
Greg Petroff held a panel that discussed the next 5 years of European design. Ended up being less about Europe specifically, and more about design and society in general.
Cameron Sinclair's closing keynote was hugely inspirational and received a standing ovation. Cameron helps build shelter and communities for people who have been displaced from their homes due to environmental disasters or conflict. “Forget Virtual Reality” he says, “let’s work on Actual Reality”.
“Design like you give a damn” he said. And I think what he means by this is..
We, as designers, have core skills around solving complex problems.
Let's not waste it. Humanity is at the centre of of what we do.
Let's not lose sight of our responsibilities.
We have the power to change this planet.
Let's make sure it's for the better.
On that note, I’d like to flip to a video about the project that took top honours “BEST IN SHOW” at this years interaction awards which have their ceremony at the closing party of the conference. Wayfindr.
