Why stealing ideas from science fiction will kill UX!
Top 5 future trends for our interfaces (2020)
Please, don’t get ”inspired” by science fiction!
But what is the first thing that comes in your mind when you think about interfaces of the future? Probably things we have seen in movies like iron man or star trek.
There are some good reasons for not using start trek etc as a reference for the future and I will share some thoughts about future interfaces in this article.
Besides that, I am going to point out 6 future trends for interfaces.
During the residency at Adobe, I focused on the future — especially on the future of UX and interfaces in general. What always fascinates me is seeing technology that is integrated into people’s natural way of working and living and doesn’t need any explanation (like all good UX usually is).
Watching science fiction characters interact with technologies looks exactly like that. If we think about Tony Stark using gestures to interact with Jarvis building his tank or mister Spock from Star Teck finding exactly the information he needs on an interface, although it might look kind of messy for our eyes.
