Intelligent joyful interfaces.
I interned at Apple as an HI designer and designed on some cool intelligent interfaces. I worked with designers, producers, product marketing, and engineers, pitching ideas regularly to senior leadership like Robert Kondrk and Wyatt Mitchell. The nature of the work is confidential, so I am unable to share any details.
Some things I learned were to design with tools that can best support your ideas because often times ideas can feel restricted based on the medium we use. I used interactive mediums to better understand the emotional aspects – how it makes people feel innately and behaves accordingly – of an interface, which can often be overlooked and lose out on precious affordances.
I also am starting to appreciate interfaces working as more multi-modal and probabilistic, where they feel intelligent, responsive, contextual, and fluid to us. Input modalities are no longer just restricted to basic touch/voice gestures, and I think interfaces will eventually be able to respond to any human gestures in a very natural manner. I'm inspired to create such systems that adapt to humans by learning behaviors and instincts, making it easier for everyone to use technology.
