The future of healthcare is here – first digital pill approved by FDA





The various UX designers that I met over the past six months have kept asking me this question – how will the user experience industry change when Virtual Reality becomes a common phenomenon. The field of User Experience has been expanding for the last decade. Starting as a simple form of human-computer interaction to design machine interface to coming into the limelight in the age of digitalization, the field of UX has expanded to accommodate new experience tech into its fold. 

Similar to when the UX designers moved to the digital world and learned the know-how of designing apps for the touch screens, UX designers will need to learn new fields of study to design for the virtual world. 3D objects and constructing of the virtual world will be seen as key skills that a VR UX designer must have. This phenomenon will be a door opener for a large number of 3D animators in the country to join the UX industry. 

If you walk up to the Hub zero mall in Dubai, you will see an indoor VR fun park. You can often see people in small cubicles standing, wearing VR glasses and fighting off zombies that only they can see and experience. While I was there, I could see the fun that the users were having, or how scared that they were getting and this experience bolstered our confidence in VR technology to create an alternate virtual world where various tasks can be performed.

Let’s be honest, competitive games are so much fun! If you look back, your most enjoyable moments were probably spent playing a game or two with family or friends. You probably competed fiercely with each other during such times, albeit in a fun sort of way. And of course, these competitions were so much more gratifying if you actually did win!! There is a reason why you had a great time then. Competition plays an important factor in the human evolutionary process. The instinct for survival drives most of the animal kingdom to compete with each other for resources. Therefore competing is a biological trait  that has evolved for the survival of the fittest. Throughout human history, people have been organizing competitions in one form or another, from the ancient Greek Olympic Games (going back as far as 776 BC) to modern day football FIFA World Cup. In fact, when you look closely, you’ll notice that competition is everywhere in modern society. Economists even promote competition

Aesthetic-Usability Effect Paves Way for Great UX

Image
There is a famous saying, 'Don't judge a book by its cover.' However, most of the time, it goes otherwise. Reasons are simple: visibility and beauty matters for everyday objects, and books are no exception to it. The same can be applied to UX design. Good looks, attractiveness, and beauty collectively create an aesthetic appeal for a product. In the field of UX design, aesthetic and usability work together and complement each other. Aesthetic Appeal Portrays Positive Vibes about the Product According to the basic cognitive psychology, users get influenced by the visual attractiveness of a product’s interface, even before they could explore its core functions and actual use. In Don Norman’s book ‘Emotional Design’, he explores the aesthetic factor in depth and puts up that it is applied to everyday life for whatever products we come across or use. The aesthetic-usability effect in any product works in tandem, as people assume that more-aesthetic designs ar
