Guiding principles

Slide 78

Slide 78 text

Ideation Scriptwrite the experience, with real words Explore the highest-level experiences Don’t think within rectangles: think without edges Consider intentions and resulting events Think about designing moments in time 1 Bullet points!

Slide 79

Slide 79 text

Physicality Be spatially aware of what you’re building Visualise it as spaces, with rooms and doorways Imagine it in 3D, and draw how that feels Design an open-ended experience, find natural boundaries Imagine someone moving through your experience 2

Slide 80

Slide 80 text

Purpose Less tasks or goals; more open learning Encourage exploration without being too abstract Help people accomplish new and unexpected things Build a lens through which the world can be seen diﬀerently 3 Is this… powerpoint? Bullets

Slide 81

Slide 81 text

Choice Don’t paralyse with too much choice Oﬀer the right amount at the right time Trigger choices in the right context Provide clear, simple, minimal prompts Define realistic expectations 4 I chose bullets

Slide 82

Slide 82 text

Tone Craft machine personality gently, and cautiously Know when to use humour, and don’t overdo it Oﬀer warmth, but avoid over-familiarity Be kind, patient, and act as guide Be forgiving, and allow the system to be forgiven too 5 I learned nothing from that TED book

Slide 83

Slide 83 text

Trust Set out to improve lives; avoid guilt or addiction Make as few demands as possible Avoid ambiguity and unguided assumptions Catch errors before they happen, be honest when they do Allow consent 6 FFS

Slide 84

Slide 84 text

Learning Create experiences that are open and inviting Consider multi-sensory inputs Increase learning through repeated experience Build system knowledge through habit Oﬀer gently persuasive feedback, non-addictive rewards 7 WTF When will it end?

Slide 85

Slide 85 text

Onboarding Get started quickly Unobtrusive guidance, always available Slow and thoughtful steps; a little at a time Encourage discovery, ensure early results Support failure and gently correct 8 I bet they’re really sick of bullets

Slide 86

Slide 86 text

Notifications Quietly serve without continuous distraction Manageable, concise, polite, and actionable Contextual to time, place, and learned routine Consider levels of urgency, and alternatives to sound If a notification doesn’t improve quality of life, kill it 9 zzz
