Back to slide index.
Hi!
First, don't forget to confirm your attendance using the Seats Mobile app!
Second, I'm going to start every lecture with a meditation from the fantastic Sitting Still Like a Frog book, all read by Myla Kabat-Zinn. If you don't want to participate that's completely fine.
"Essential Design Principles" (60 mins)
"Design principles are the key to understanding how design serves human needs for safety, meaning, achievement and beauty. Learn what these principles are and how they can help you design more welcoming, understandable, empowering and gratifying user experiences."
"Intentional Design" (40 mins)
"Great app experiences leap off the screen. They are dynamic, immersive, personal, and, above all else, the result of a strong and clear intent. Learn key techniques for being intentional with your design by choosing appropriate metaphors, making extreme choices, and making every interaction feel more authentic and natural."
"Principles of Spatial Design" (22 mins)
"Discover the fundamentals of spatial design. Learn how to design with depth, scale, windows, and immersion, and apply best practices for creating comfortable, human-centered experiences that transform reality. Find out how you can use these spatial design principles to extend your existing app or bring a new idea to life."
"Design for Spatial User Interfaces" (23 mins)
"Learn how to design great interfaces for spatial computing apps. We'll share how your existing screen-based knowledge easily translates into creating great experiences for visionOS. Explore guidelines for UI components, materials, and typography and find out how you can design experiences that are familiar, legible, and easy to use."
"Design for Spatial Input" (21 mins)
"Learn how to design great interactions for eyes and hands. We'll share the design principles for spatial input, explore best practices around input methods, and help you create spatial experiences that are comfortable, intuitive, and satisfying."
"Design spatial SharePlay experiences" (17 mins)
"Explore the types of shared activities you can create in your visionOS apps and find out how your apps can use Spatial Persona templates to support meaningful interactions between people. Discover how to design your UI around a shared context, handle immersive content in a shared activity, and more."
"Explore immersive sound design" (15 mins)
"Discover how you can use sound to enhance the experience of your visionOS apps and games. Learn how Apple designers select sounds and build soundscapes to create textural, immersive experiences. We'll share how you can enrich basic interactions in your app with sound when you place audio cues spatially, vary repetitive sounds, and build moments of sonic delight into your app."
What questions do you have for me?
Next Friday, please be ready to present:
  1. I expect you to complete three users from page 15 of the App Design Workbook. Let's take a quick look at this slide together.
  2. An (initial) paper prototype of your app! Video this! Remember: how to capture video from a Vision Pro. Has anyone tried this yet?
  3. In addition, please review all of the content from today's lecture.
Thanks!
