November XR Design Salon - Adaptive Design in MR

Adaptive Design in MR: UX Problems and Solutions

How do you design the same app for both Hololens and VR? What do you do about the two different input systems? Do you stay consistent for design or for the platform? The Design Salon welcomes guest speaker Jada Williams, Microsoft Mixed Reality Studio Lead UX Designer, who will cover these questions and compare how 2D web/mobile designers have solved these problems with responsive/adaptive design and how to apply it to mixed reality. Jada will tell us how the Microsoft team considered adaptive design in MR while designing for Microsoft Layout, a mixed reality app that allows space planners to see their ideas in context.

DESIGN SALON DESCRIPTION
Seattle VR and PlutoVR are hosting the Design Salon monthly meeting to provide a forum for ux professionals, designers, researchers, students and VR/AR/XR/MR enthusiasts to deeply discuss current literature, practices, research and tech from a design perspective.

We’ll focus on a number of design issues which are unique to immersive environments, but look at each one in depth and leave time for discussion. Concepts central to UX design, user research, storytelling, collaboration, cognition and related disciplines will be applied to both the hottest and the most overlooked areas vital to designing usable immersive realities. Bring your curiosity!

Salon Goal: To examine how design choices affect the user experience in VR/AR/MR/XR.

“What are the boundaries of Design?”
