Air travel has been quietly transforming over the last few years. Technology is influencing all aspects of the experience, from the materials used in aircraft, dynamic cabin lighting, through to how we plan travel, check in, spend our time onboard and remain connected throughout the entire experience.The airline sector has lagged far behind consumer expectation, but it’s now at the forefront of innovation, utilising technology such as Near Field Communication, proximity gesturing, and multi-screen experiences that adapt contextually to the flight stage.During this session we’ll share innovations affecting the future of airtravel and the UX challenges in designing them – informed by practical examples from designing solutions for Qantas, Emirates and Virgin Atlantic.

New Frontiers in Digital-Only Journal Publishing: Possibilities and ChallengesScholastica
This document discusses the future of digital-only journal publishing and some of the possibilities and challenges involved. It notes that scholars prefer journals that are easy to skim, portable, searchable, annotatable, ingestible, and printable. However, current journal production workflows focus on PDFs, which do not support interactivity or portability well. Emerging pressures from scholars' usage patterns, production challenges, and market forces will likely lead to journals that are produced using automated HTML workflows, available in multiple formats, and put the needs of scholars first across different stages of research. HTML may become the canonical format over PDF as it allows for more flexible options.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

A380
Friday, 31 August 12
we’re going to briefly cover a program we were involved in for Qantas which involved
designing the in-flight entertainment system for the flagship Airbus A380.
28. feeling in control
achieving simplicity
creating meaningful
models which don’t rely
on prior experiences
Friday, 31 August 12
our challenge was to achieve a simple elegant expression of the brand onboard.
and to establish a meaningful model which would be easy to learn, and which didn’t
necessarily rely on previous experiences.
29. feeling in control
it’s 2005
designing for touch is
an immature area of
practice
Friday, 31 August 12
touch screens are familiar to people mainly as kiosks:
relatively static screen by screen experiences which fail to engage emotionally.
the hardware is revolutionary in the sky but undercooked under the hood.
gestural input was emergent but unfamiliar.
the iPhone was 2-3 years away
our model needed to be gesture ready to future proof the systems
30. feeling in control
a multi-input system
which can also be
remote controlled
Friday, 31 August 12
and we’re also dealing with a multi-input system. the touch screen can be remote controlled.
and importantly, the remote controlled experience is critical in the premium classes in which
the touch screen can’t always be reached.
it was really important that we moved away from the typical point-to-point dvd menu style
matrix navigation which was familiar at the time. but to what?
31. feeling in control
how do you design for
disruptive environments
Friday, 31 August 12
where few paradigms exist.
32. feeling in control
we designed
from the
hardware out
Friday, 31 August 12
although we didn’t have a label for it then, our only way into the problem was to bodystorm
the experience.
so we mocked up a remote control out of foam core, got ourselves some touch screens and
created monitor surrounds trying to replicate the cabin environment.
hardware leadtimes are one of our greatest challenges. the hardware has been developed
outside a user centred design process.
it was a simplified of tv remote control with legacy features such as channel up/down buttons
and a large channel number - redundant for avod, playback and menu button.
33. feeling in control
creating a simple,
meaningful
dimensional model
tying structural navigation
to the vertical axis
SELECT
local navigation to the
horizontal axis
Friday, 31 August 12
we built rapid prototypes and practised using the handset until
we isolated the most natural movements which could be performed on an RCU without
looking down. that centred on up/down vs left/right movements.
we created a simple, meaningful dimensional model
very familiar now thanks to the XBOX 360 and PS3 cross media bars which post date this
system by 2 and 3 years respectively.
validation that the approach set us on the right path.

36. feeling in control

progressively
Friday, 31 August 12
we developed this very simple model and built on it progressively throughout the UI,
inspiring confidence that i what i learnt in my last interaction i could apply in the next.
though most of the system is built on this model, levels are subtly different in visual design
which supports orientation and helps alleviates boredom.

54. current touchscreen handset
Friday, 31 August 12
when we first saw this device we knew it was going to be trouble.
Shane mentioned proximity as a way of providing affordance yesterday.
This device looks like a hand-held console such as a PSP.
Normally you’d expect the hard buttons to control this screen.
Wrong. In this instance the hard buttons control the screen on the seatback.
And the touchscreen in the centre is a separate UI which duplicates, some but not all seatback
functionality. Sometimes affecting the main screen, sometimes running locally.
Signposting these break points becomes critical.
56. learnings
play to the strengths of
each device
clarity of purpose
functional parity isn’t
always positive
Friday, 31 August 12
establish clarity of purpose
communicating the role of each device in the experience is critical
functional parity isn’t positive - we don’t need to replicate all services on all devices. For
example tweeting using my handset which is a more discrete device is comfortable. Writing a
work email on the seatback screen feels less appropriate.
airlines who spend an enormous amount on hardware want to squeeze the most out of it and
of course the suppliers push for every feature to be used.
but when the experience is disjointed, because devices aren’t equally capable, or able to
hand over to each other effectively, the best strategy is to start leaving things out.
65. multi-device environments
handset modes
synced companion
control complementary
Friday, 31 August 12
In more recent programs we design handset modes which help reduce confusion.
In synced mode
Users navigate the seatback screen using simple gestures on the handset.
We can automatically switch to companion mode and
Provide shortcuts to key information or
controls to facilitate multitasking, without
affecting the main screen.
66. multi-device environments

Friday, 31 August 12
other things we do support learnability in mult-screen devices is to detect their first use and
aid learning through contextual hinting.
Similar to techniques used in game design.

personal carry on
devices beg the question
do we need on-board
entertainment?
Friday, 31 August 12
Personal carry on devices such as smart phones and tablets beg the question do we need on-
board entertainment?
Airlines are already handing out or hiring tablets on medium haul flights.
It will be a while before carry on devices are ubiquitous.
The plethora of tablets means that managing your own device so that you don’t have to hold
it continually is still a problem that needs solving, as is reliably connecting to onboard
networks.
82. have we been effective?

Virgin reported when the JAM system we designed with Airside started to fly.
People were so engaged with the entertainment system that were nicer and crew
spent less time reseating disruptive passengers.
And apparently there was a dramatic drop in the consumption of alcohol, which
meant less weight and huge savings in fuel costs and operating costs which made
them very happy.
