 Snapchat Spectacles' Product Strategy, the IxD Awards Shortlist, Chatbots and moreHere's what's hot in UX this week.
Snap Has Redefined the Product Strategy Game with Spectacles →September 24, 2016. Evan Speigel calls his company's video-sharing sunglasses "a toy". Almost 2 months later, the $130 sunglasses make consumers insane enough to buy second hand pairs for as much as $4500 on eBay. Everything in between is a carefully crafted bizarre yet delightful product strategy that appealed consumers like never before. For the first time in history, a piece of head worn technology is being desired by nerds and fashionistas alike. This article is an attempt to understand what Snap did differently from most tech pioneers to make Spectacles a massive success so far. How the Tech Industry Can Lead in the Trump Era → This presidential election has kicked off much soul searching about the role of technology, especially social media, in the democratic process. The 2017 IxD Awards Shortlist → The shortlist for the 2017 Interaction Design Awards has been announced, with 74 projects from 13 different countries. Does Conversation Hurt or Help the Chatbot UX? → Chatbot fever has infected Silicon Valley. The leaders of virtually every tech giant proclaim chatbots as the new websites, and messaging platforms as the new browsers. I Totally Forgot About Print Style Sheets → A small collection of useful CSS techniques and a quick reminder that print style sheets are still a thing. Offboarding: How and How Not To End Relationships with Users → "I want you to treat me like I'm dead" said Amanda Costello, at the office of her national bank, trying to close her account so she could move to a credit union. Basic Principles for Designing Voice User Interfaces → Challenges and opportunities, how VUIs differ from IVRs, and tools for creating great conversational designs. Inside the 21st-Century Craze for Redesigning Everything → In theory, the redesign begins with a problem. Redesigns fail when they address the wrong problem — or something that really wasn't a problem in the first place. Design Assets, Version Control, and You → The iterative, move-fast mindset often leads to files that are copies of other files with all sorts of "clever" naming conventions.
