Meet code- Enabling a new generation of designers
Design tools have long played a vital role in visualising the experience we wish to create, but are they truly empowering us to create the best experiences? Our tools greatly influence the products we build. They not only influence what we can create, but also how we create and collaborate with our team.
Søren will discuss how design tools today are limiting our abilities to create the best experiences. How they are forcing us to play pretend, to simulate technology and create mock-experiences. How they require us to mimic real life in order to explore our options, perform user tests, and how they are diluting the outcome of design down to visuals and implementation specs.
Imagine a world where design isn’t only a simulation. Imagine directly manipulating the user experience. Using real technology, real data, real devices, real device limitations, real shippable results directly from your hands. This reality is not far away and Søren will show you how all this could be now.
