Description

Knowing how people will react and engage with your spatial computing experience is an important part of ensuring success. Researching with your target users is the best way to do this but user research on new and emerging platforms can be challenging, particularly as we move "beyond screens" to smart and spatial computing interfaces. Existing user research methods may be less effective meaning we need to experiment with new ways to understand how successful the design of an experience will be. Using examples we will explore the hurdles of researching new and emerging technology and discuss techniques for gathering great user research insights. This talk is aimed at product managers, designers and developers of spatial computing experiences who want to run their own user research.
