Huawei’s Wayne Goodrich talks about the future of UX and design

The way we interact with our devices is changing. We began with punch cards during the dawn of computing, then eventually transitioned to tactile buttons and finally to touch. And, while it may seem like this is the best way we can possibly interact with our phones and other screen-based devices, we always need to keep pushing the boundary in terms of what is possible.

Now that artificial intelligence is finally making its way to the mainstream, we have physical objects that can perform tasks and make decisions for us, instead of us needing to make a discrete statement of what we want the device to do. This is all part of the user experience (or UX) of an object, and as these objects evolve physically, it’s up to us to provide the due diligence of making sure this new technology works with humans in the most streamlined way possible.

Huawei thinks they are capable of building the next generation of adaptive interfaces, and today Wayne Goodrich of Huawei sat down and talked to Florence Ion about his thoughts on what machines should be doing for us, and expressed his vision for the future of UX design.

These systems have to be adaptive. We as humans change our minds all the time, and a lot of the services in AI and eventually AR are going to have to be responsive to us.

Wayne believes that our interfaces need to start becoming aware of what we want as people, since we are incredibly complex and are constantly evolving. He says that we need to have relationships with our interfaces that really understand us fundamentally, so that they can change with us over time.

The video of our interview with Goodrich is coming soon, but in the meantime let us know what you think about the future of UI in the comments below!
