5 things that will have big impact on UX industry
Extended reality - augmented & virtual
- ex: filters on Snapchat or IG that subtly change a user’s features
- Augmented reality: tech that adds digital components to our reality/world
Virtual reality: completely immerses individual into a new reality
- Instead of designing for 2D, we’ll be designing for 3D with these new technologies
- Important questions to consider:
- How will extended reality impact our environment?
How will AR & VR impact our mental health?
Will these technologies be accessible and inclusive?
What does it mean when big companies work on these technologies? What are their incentives?

- Must be aware of our own biases and create AI that is non-discriminatory
