World Interaction Design Day 2024:
Add new dimensions
Adding dimensions in design and technology refers to integrating new aspects, perspectives, or functionalities that enhance the depth, usability, and impact of products and experiences. Here are some key areas where adding dimensions can transform design and technology:
Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, Accessibility, Sustainability, Interactivity and Connectivity, Social Impacts.
What new trends or technologies do you believe have become indispensable in 2024 or should be added to facilitate and improve our work as designers and enhance user activities?
We believe that adding dimensions to design and technology is about expanding the scope of what's possible, creating richer, more inclusive, and forward-thinking products and experiences.
Our aim is to have a positive, long-lasting impact by facilitating activities that support dialogue and outcomes.
