Avi Itzkovitch :: Designing adaptive experiences using sensor data

We hosted Avi Itzkovitch at Mesh for the talk "Designing adaptive experiences using sensor data".

The talk introduced adaptive thinking as part of the designer's toolkit. Itzkovitch explained why understanding context matters when designing adaptive experiences, how to design systems that respond to it, and how context-aware applications can improve the user experience.

He gave examples of signals that smart devices and user data can provide: a microphone can indicate whether someone is somewhere quiet or noisy, search history and installed apps can point to preferences and hobbies, and GPS history can reveal a daily commute or regular lunch spots. Used well, such signals can support unobtrusive experiences in which functions are triggered when they are relevant to the user's situation.
