Let's talk about Design for Change

The Design Salon is a moderated interview with some of the speakers, where you can ask questions in an open and relaxed atmosphere.

Participants in this Salon are designers from Dropbox, Amazon and inLand.

As designers, we rely on a varied toolkit that includes visual design, UX flows, interaction, animations, design systems and much more. While these are valuable for creating functional and aesthetic designs, they may not be as useful in helping us get at the root of users’ needs.

In this workshop, we’ll walk you through how you can use behavioral science to better tackle the problems at hand – and by understanding how users interpret information, make decisions, and how they choose to take action, we can deliver more effective and meaningful solutions.

Immersive Xperience and the next generation of enterprise solutions

AR and VR are changing UX as we know it. For designers, mixing realities in immersive worlds represent a new land of opportunities and challenges. Alfredo will talk about the importance of finding the right balance between the real and the virtual, 2D and 3D to make the best transition of experiences. He'll also share the story of how he and his team are creating the next generation of enterprise solutions and how it has be used to sign a Major League Baseball player’s contract.

Lorena Pazmino will talk about some of the challenges of designing for MR, the UX principles and reasons behind the Visual Design approach of LuminOS and it’s core applications, the road to designing inclusive representational avatars in an additive color space space, and about LominoUI, the first font designed for MR.

Tools for bridging the worlds of business and design

As a follow-on to the main stage presentation on “The True Value of Design,” two designers from McKinsey Design will host a workshop on how designers are changing the consulting industry for the better.

Attendees will walk away with:

- Real world case studies of where designers are creating new impact in the world

This session will take you through the process of designing for new natural interfaces and what challenges and opportunities we might be facing in world where people don't look at screens but through them and where technology doesn't just live in your pocket but lives on wheels. SPACE10 in collaboration with Norgram have designed and released a new global playful research project named "Spaces on Wheels" exploring what Autonomous vehicles might mean for people's life in the city and how technologies like Augmented Reality can be used to simulate that potential future before it happens.
