How do we train models to classify non-existent artifacts? I propose acknowledging the emerging role of a Situation Designer: one who creates virtual representations of real-world circumstances for training and simulation. I also highlight advancements in design technology like digital twins and machine learning model training for synthetic image data generation, with focus on parameterizing environmental and situational factors to create realistic virtual scenes.
As of 2021, with hundreds of millions of Alexa-enabled devices globally, industries are exploring voice-driven services. The presence of natural language user interfaces in households offers a chance to extend healthcare services beyond traditional settings. While refining assistants' capabilities, designing conversations based on fundamental principles enhances user care quality. This guide is for designers, especially those new to conversational UX for patients, providing insights into key aspects.
Drawing parallels between Jurassic Park and a design-focused startup, I highlight the challenges faced when a founder is deeply involved. I outline scenarios hindering effective design sprints, such as founders lacking patience and being emotionally attached to their vision. I also include proposed solutions like: highlighting tangible deliverables and framing feedback as advice. We must emphasize recognizing positive founder qualities while ensuring their behavior doesn't derail design.
As a presenter, I led a workshop on the 5-day design sprint, condensing the intensive process into an hour. We focused on defining goals, ideating, prototyping, and testing with a strong emphasis on user experience. Participants explored problem spaces, gathered insights, and tested assumptions to develop effective solutions. I introduced tools like Figma, Sketch, and UX Pin for prototyping. The workshop highlighted the importance of efficient teamwork, open communication, and critical evaluation to achieve successful outcomes.
