As we take a leap forward towards the modern future, technology doesn\u2019t seem to be a challenge. The world is catching up with that. However, creative imagination and the execution of innovative ideas is an even bigger challenge that we should focus on. The innovators of today wonder how the post-IOT era would look like? Imagine a time when everything will turn into an interface and we will have the power to magically control the physical realm. Sounds fascinating, doesn\u2019t it? That\u2019s exactly how it\u2019s going to be.<\/p>\n
Truth be told, that future of interaction design is not too distant. We have just caught a glimpse of how internet of things is speeding itself into our lives, but it\u2019s just a matter of time before the design solutions of today are rendered ineffective because of this latent technology. There is so much more yet to be explored. As of today, we know of brands and tech innovators who introduced IOT-based products and services<\/a>. However, there is much room for improvement when it comes to user interface design. The big question is, \u201cAre designers primed to keep up?<\/p>\n The honest answer is no! Mostly because they haven\u2019t seen the future the way it\u2019s going to be. Well here\u2019s your chance witness future from the perspective of creative visionaries. Join them in a one-day event on 11th<\/sup> September presented by Clearleft<\/a>, a user experience design consultancy based in Brighton, UK. It will focus on this year\u2019s theme \u201cDesigning the future<\/a>\u201d. You will enjoy an interesting line-up of presentations that will give you an unorthodox view of the future. Get your tickets now.<\/p>\n The future is going to bring to life the science fiction of today. We have seen robots walking, talking and dancing in sci fi movies but they will soon be a reality and the children of the future would be best buds with them. Join the event and see how Brain David Johnson introduces the design possibilities for future. Also join him on twitter @IntelFuturist<\/a><\/p>\n Imagination has a lot to do with reality. The way we perceived the future as kids will influence the design ideas of the future. This is perhaps just a notion hard to ignore. In the presentation that commences under the title \u201cA brief history of tomorrow\u201d, the presenter will highlight the popular ideas from the past and how the present is different from what it was imagined. Truth be told, the future is never exactly the way it is predicted.<\/p>\n maybe hard to appreciate this one if you’ve never smelled lutefisk before but just trust me https:\/\/t.co\/fZRhRwEQmD<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Matt Novak (@paleofuture) September 9, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/center><\/p>\n Whether we\u2019re designers or clients, peers or parents, we need to focus our attention on Metadesign; \u201cnurturing the emergence of the previously unthinkable\u201d in those around us, and those who will come after us. It\u2019s about ideas and environments, books and blocks, objects and systems, all examined through the contents and context of the most intriguing bedroom in sci-fi. John Willshire will present the idea by breaking our mind barriers.<\/p>\n You seem to be confusing ‘smart’ with ‘annoying’. New rule: replace ‘smart’ with annoying’. eg AnnoyingCities. https:\/\/t.co\/atem4Rcfuw<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 john v willshire (@willsh) September 9, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/center><\/p>\n Ah.. That would be my personal favorite topic on the list. This presentation is expected to make your imaginations run wild because it will cover how effective UX designs can tame technology. Plus, the presentation would cover how internet of things can create user friendly physical interfaces for digital systems and about giving them extra-ordinary abilities. Let\u2019s see what Josh Clark will create a connection between magical UX and internet of things.<\/p>\n Hey Melbourne and Sydney, I’m totally coming your way. Mighty excited about these workshops. https:\/\/t.co\/2aNBNWaJkV<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Josh Clark (@bigmediumjosh) September 9, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/center><\/p>\n Do you know that the design in sci fi and the real world have connections? However, the ideas from the fictional world cannot be implemented in exactly the same way or it can create some major usability issues. Chris Noessel will deconstruct some examples that will scrutinize those imaginary and good looking interfaces that lack functionality.<\/p>\n Thank you @googlemaps<\/a>. This is timely and very helpful. pic.twitter.com\/Zo0s61Vmri<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Chris Noessel (@chrisnoessel) September 8, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/center><\/p>\n Whenever a picture from the future is casted, it is vibrant, lively and full of possibilities without any technical difficulties. The big question is whether technology will make our lives simpler or complicate it further. Nick Foster will make you imagine a future with spacecraft and self-driving vehicles but it will not be free of common life problems that we face today. He will focus on experimentation with format and delivery to create a more tangible and achievable future.<\/p>\n I’m in London. Chatting at #dConstruct<\/a> on Friday in Brighton.

We know for a fact that storytelling makes information more comprehendible. Carla Diana will share methods and strategies for new product visions based on vivid storytelling and tangible model making, looking at techniques such as scenario storyboarding, video narratives and vision imagery.<\/p>\n Listening to pitches for next year’s reasonsto so many fascinating creative characters @ Brighton\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/gP4lTRRS3t<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Carla Diana (@carladiana_) September 9, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/center><\/p>\n Time travel is fantasy but every fantasy has roots in reality. While there are a wide variety of types of time travel stories, the narrative Ingrid has been thinking about the most is the one in which someone from the<\/em> future (or, depending on how you think about time travel paradoxes, a<\/em> future) comes to the past and intervenes to rewrite their present.<\/p>\n http:\/\/t.co\/0IPAyu3KCZ<\/a> something something wordplay on “latency”, latent threats\/harms, something something<\/p>\n \u2014 Ingrid Burrington (@lifewinning) September 9, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/center><\/p>\n When we imagine the future, we believe that the future would also change the look and architecture of cities. That transformation is slow. This presentation would cover the changes in things bigger than a mobile phone but smaller than a building. Now this will cover everything from the design of tech, wearables, to street signs and boards. The idea is to explore a new practice of city making that will emerge from intersection and service design and how this will change the landscape of design, technology and cities.<\/p>\n “Pauline van Dongen\u2019s Solar Parka charges electronic devices for nature reserve workers” http:\/\/t.co\/nBAcJGKcZX<\/a> via @dezeen<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Dan Hill (@cityofsound) September 9, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/center><\/p>\n This will be a closing address that will emphasize that the future has to be different and that calls for a rigorous change in our current thought process.
