About the Event
Some mobile apps and websites feel soulless and desolate, while others feel captivating, vibrant and… alive. What specifically creates these feelings? We’ll explore the many product design, function and behavior factors that influence how products are perceived by users and suggest how best to create a sense of aliveness. Clear and actionable takeaways will equip you with a new way of thinking and approaching your product designs for tomorrow’s increasingly technology dependent users.
