(20) Loading ...As the technology for supporting more personalized experiences becomes available, we’re entering a new era of “adaptive interfaces,” where functionality is revealed over time and interface elements change based on individual usage. We can create interfaces that respond, suggest or change based on actual usage data.
While much of this is still speculative, we’ll explore some concrete examples of how such ideas have already been used, and many instances where this could be implemented, resulting in applications that are truly conversational and context-aware.
In this session, you will:
- Learn about the unique advantages and challenges of working with adaptive interfaces.
- Explore concrete examples of ways in which adaptive interfaces have been implemented.
- Identify opportunities in which an adaptive interface would create a conversational, context-aware experience.
