As the user experience (UX) transforms and incorporates new technologies, we must rethink our interactions and infrastructure. These emerging technologies—such as Multi-touch, Virtual reality (VR), Augmented reality (AR) and Voice Interaction—are propelling us toward the next generation in human-computer interactions with no signs of slowing down.
With technologies going beyond the touchscreen, what are the implications for product and business development? How do we design digital products and user experiences that engage and immerse users in new ways? And how can we make smarter decisions about allocating the resources necessary for adopting, developing, and marketing new technologies?
Developed by NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering, this program will get you up to speed on the environment of emerging technologies as it applies to new interfaces and digital product development. Gain both historic and modern perspective on designing with emerging technologies, and a framework for how to identify opportunities, and apply human centered design approach to ideate and innovate with emerging technologies at your organization.
In 2019, 42.9 million people in the U.S. used a VR product, and 68.7 million people used an AR once monthly.
It’s estimated that 80% of emerging technologies will involve AI by 2021.
By 2022, AR-based social media ads are projected to be pulling in roughly $13 billion dollars per year.
This program was created to provide a solid understanding of the business considerations for modern interfaces and emerging technologies for product designers, product managers, creative directors and product directors in the areas of product development, product management and interactive design.
