UX evolution
Simple anatomy of UX
• Research
• Design
• UI Engineering
• Testing
UX evolution
Realities of UX training
• Early pioneers were often not trained, found UX by
accident
• Newer practitioners have practical skills training
• Few UX pros are trained to be experts in software,
hardware, science, or technology

The Future of UX
• Research
• Design
• UI Engineering
• Testing
Creation under threat
The Future of UX
Creation under threat
• Gaps for software to go are being filled
• Many design patterns established
• AI replacing the need for UI; vanishing interfaces
If you do not have real science and
engineering chops you likely will not
be part of true product creation &
development.Some may stay and
survive.Some will evolve and uplevel.
Some will find other paths.And…
some will be left behind.Context?

The Future of UX
The new normal
What’s a creative to do?
• Hang on, hope you are one of the people for whom an
old-school job remains available
• Remain in product creation, take a research or testing role
• Flex into design for more communications/marketing
• Focus on a specific vertical industry
• Go deep into science and engineering
The Future of UX
Go deep into science &
engineering
• Computer science
• Artificial intelligence
• Materials science
• Human physiology
The Future of UX
• Genomics
• Neuroscience
• Psychology
• Sociology
Thank you!

Editor's Notes

  • #8: These future products will be unlike those user experience people have worked on in the past Combine various highly complicated technologies, each of which previously could have been its own product Science and engineering complexity of each of those constituent technologies is increasing AI will increasingly eliminate the need for software UI and design, providing just-in-time information/interaction/connection
