How Novel User Experiences Enable
New Business and Customer Value
As our existing devices grow in power - think smartphones equipped with AR capabilities and Lidar - VR hardware is also becoming increasingly sophisticated and accessible to a wider audience.
These advancements are unlocking fresh opportunities for xR applications and gaining wider customer acceptance. They boost productivity, foster collaboration, and open doors to entirely new customer segments. Investing in new UX designs yields multiple long-term benefits.
UX Has Been Around Since the First Computers, but It’s Progressing Fast and So Should You.
Early UX
Early HMIs facilitated digital interactions with machines, streamlining data handling, cutting manual work, and minimizing errors, ultimately saving time and money.
Next-Level-UX
As machines tackle varied tasks, advanced interfaces are vital, meeting complex needs while ensuring user-friendliness. Modern UX caters to diverse uses, offering personalized interactions and proactive feedback.
Future UX
Emerging UX tech like AR, VR, and gesture control enables natural digital interactions. From AR training to immersive marketing, UX blurs reality, captivating users everywhere.
User Experience describes how well a digital interface satisfies the needs and expectations of users who work with this interface. It builds on understanding users, their goals, needs, and problems in a given context. Good UX caters to user requirements by structuring information in an intuitive way and making required functionality available at the right place and time.
We like to start UX projects (or any project that ultimately has a user interface) by generating a deep understanding of users, usage situations, and other stakeholders. Through user interviews, surveys, or other documentation, we define different user types and describe them as proto-personas that include their background, tasks to be performed, needs and goals, and pain points. In a user or customer journey map, those insights are put into a chronological sequence. The user journey usually forms the basis for the initial ideation of features and approaches, which we then test for user acceptance using wireframes or storyboards.
Time to move to a more solution-centric approach by structuring functionalities per interaction screen on a function map. This gives an overview of all actions that need to be performed from onboarding screens to pop-ups for specific interactions. The resulting map is the basis for UI designers to create wireframes or to move straight to hi-fi designs.
Before moving on to implementation, we make sure that the new interface appeals to future users. We do this by presenting wireframes to users or by observing their interactions with so-called click dummies. This usually leads to some adjustments and implementation in a final design ready for frontend development.
We usually build on common component libraries or UI kits to implement web or app interfaces. For xR interfaces, we have to go several steps further. We need to define the usable environment, movement, and navigation (often hardware-dependent), possible (inter)actions. And then design the required UI controls for both xR and screen.
The 3 Phases to Success
We adapt our approach to your specific needs and starting point. Whether you desire a beautiful design based on wireframes or prefer to start from scratch: we are here for you.
UX Research
- Defining user types (personas) and usage situations
- Conducting user interviews to establish user personas, their concrete needs and pain points
- Mapping the user journey & ideating opportunities for improvement (e.g. features that help solve issues)
- Developing storyboards and wireframes to test and validate user value
Interaction Design
- Mapping functionalities per user group and defining an information/interaction architecture (structuring)
- Feature conception and testing to achieve user acceptance
UI Design and Testing
- Building on common UI libraries adapted to your custom requirements and target CI (web/app)
- Generation of clickable prototypes for direct user testing and frontend handover (web/app)
- Handover to frontend development (web/app)
- Defining the usable environment (xR)
- Guiding user movement through navigation (xR)
- Making first use intuitive through user-friendly onboarding (xR)
- Defining interactions, e.g. via gestures & user interface controls (xR)
- Design support to retain the “voice of the user” during development (regardless of technology)
