Interfaceless - (Design Thinking) by Diana Olynick (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Explore the possibilities spatial computing and its integration with AI can provide beyond the confines of a traditional user interface. Spatial computing brings together physical and virtual worlds and systems. This book offers an insightful journey into harmonizing user-centered design with the vast potential of AI in spatial computing.

You'll start by exploring key concepts and processes in relation to conscious design and traditional computer interfaces. You'll then be introduced to the Mindful Spatial Design Framework (MSDF) and the rapidly evolving world of generative AI and its potential to transform design processes.

Once the key concepts are mastered, you'll start to put them into practice and see how to design, prototype, and test interfaceless systems and environments that are seamless and user-friendly. In doing so you'll consider topics such as functionality and aesthetics, as well as how AI can improve automation and testing. The book concludes by looking at ethical AI considerations and best practices as well as looking at next steps and future developments of spatial computing and interfaceless design.

As these invisible interfaces become more prevalent, understanding the key principles of conscious design is pivotal. Interfaceless will expand your knowledge base in these areas.

What You'll Learn
