ABOUT THIS EVENT

How might we heal ourselves, each other and our society from the exponential levels of disconnection, stress, and anxiety that humankind is experiencing now? How might we design for a healthier future of reconnection, well-being, joy and thriving? How might we create personalized immersive experiences to improve our health?

This product and user experience design talk focuses on product design insights from a series of successful music and dance video games (the original Guitar Hero, Rock Band and Dance Central video game franchises) and a digital health meditation app (Muse) and a video game for health treatment (Coherence VR) that each sought to change the way people feel across the human well-being spectrum.

The UX design best practices will guide you as you develop the next generation of transformative experiences leveraging today’s new technologies. You will learn how to enable accessible, intuitive and joyful experiences, tapping directly into one’s greater sense of well-being, and motivating them to play and practice again and again.

You will also have the opportunity to get live feedback on your product design challenges. Bring your innovation and experiential design questions for the products you are designing and enjoy learning from a leader in TransTech experiential design.
