Promotion and Events SpecialistOver the last decade, emerging technologies like Multi-touch, Virtual Reality (VR), Extended Reality
(XR), Voice, and 3D Touch have been propelling us toward the next generation of human-computer
interactions. But the pandemic of 2020 accelerated the speed of innovation—at home, at work, and
inside government. Some examples include:
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 managers and creative and product directors in the areas of product development, product management, and interactive design. The program was developed for business and product managers and is not geared toward experienced designers.
Understand the past and present landscape of digital interfaces, current trends and how the evolution of interface design is important for modern and future industry innovation.
Identify the patterns of good usability in interface design and the human centered design approach that scales with new technology.
Discover the current environment of emerging technologies including musical interfaces, audio assistants, gestural interfaces, gaming systems and AR & VR.
Learn the difference between the media then vs now, incremental steps vs moonshots and identifying tools as multivariate.
Evaluate the balance between ethics and profitability for making new interfaces more inclusive.
Understand how product designs are evolving, the impact of early AI efforts and how to use predictive technology to ascertain purchase decisions.
Developing a Personalized Action Plan for Product Development Strategies
We’ve created a companion playbook to enhance your learning experience by providing takeaways that make the content immediately actionable. The playbook is organized by module and includes a brief summary of each followed by a related exercise. For example:
Using the playbook, you will be able to:
Consider two perspectives on Google’s controversial AR glasses. While initially a commercial flop, find out how this moonshot product broke new ground and continues to be a business driver.
Consider the incremental development of game-changing innovations like the iPod, iPhone and Siri and the influence of the Apple “ripple effect” on the market.
How has this multinational corporation created first-class products across so many product lines and categories (and decades)? Take a closer look at a company that has always prioritized innovation and teamwork between business leadership, designers, and engineers.
After failing with GameCube, Nintendo needed a big win. Learn how they went all-in on gestural control and owned the game console market for a short time—and what lessons we should take from it.
