Future of UX | Your Design, Tech and User Experience Podcast | AI Design

The Metaverse is a buzzword that's been floating around the tech world for a while now, but what exactly is it? To put it simply, the Metaverse is a virtual world where people can interact with each other and with virtual objects using avatars or digital representations of themselves. Imagine a kind of 3D internet where users can access a wide range of virtual experiences, such as socialising with friends, attending virtual events, shopping, gaming, and more. It's like a virtual version of the real world that you can access through a device like a computer or VR headset. Let's take a deep dive into the different elements of the Metaverse and the future.  ✨ Waitinglist AI for Designer ⁠⁠⁠Sign up for the  AI for Designer⁠ ⁠Waitinglist ⁠(Launching in december) 💌 Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Weekly UX insights and updates: UX Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ Find me on Socials 📸 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram @ux.patricia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🐦 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter @ux_Patricia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin Patricia Reiners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📝 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My UX Design Blog ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎥 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube ⁠⁠

I am going to talk about the ways in which ChatGPT, a powerful language model developed by OpenAI, can support UX designers in their workflow. I am always curious about what these tools mean for UX designers? and I tried them out for different parts of the UX process and I am impressed. Before we talk 8 ways how you can use ChatGPT in your UX workflow ChatGPT is a language model developed by OpenAI. It is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture, which is a machine learning model that is trained on a large dataset of text to generate natural language text. OpenAI trained ChatGPT on a massive dataset of conversational text and fine-tuned it to understand and respond to natural language inputs. The goal of ChatGPT is to allow users to interact with a machine in a more natural and human-like way. It is a product of the research and development efforts of OpenAI team, with the goal of creating advanced AI models that can assist users in various tasks. ChatGPT is a computer program that can understand and respond to what people say or write. It's like a magic box that can answer your questions and have a conversation with you. It's been taught many things, so it knows a lot about different topics and can give you information or help you with tasks. It's like having a personal helper that you can talk to through a computer.

A well-crafted design can open the door to powerful opportunities. It’s not just about aesthetics; a carefully considered color scheme that resonates with our target audience has an undeniable psychological effect - think red for power and strength, or blue for trustworthiness. But interactive motion scrolling takes us even further by allowing us to craft engaging stories and offers which build meaningful connections between brands and their audiences. When done right, it's nothing short of magical! Apple's product pages are a journey you'll never forget. For years, they've been using motion scrolling to create an exciting and interactive experience that immerses visitors in the world of their products. Whether it be watching MacBooks fly across the screen as you scroll or functions being carefully staged for visual appeal - Apple has developed a unique way of story-telling through technology that truly allows us all to discover something new every time we visit! Here are some cool examples https://agencecartier.com/fr/?_ga=2.30935676.2100414065.1672652993-1361120236.1672652993 https://www.ju.st/learn https://www.mirrows.co/home/ http://everylastdrop.co.uk https://www.apple.com/iphone-14-pro/ ✨ Waitinglist AI for Designer ⁠⁠⁠Sign up for the  AI for Designer⁠ ⁠Waitinglist ⁠(Launching in december) 💌 Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Weekly UX insights and updates: UX Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ Find me on Socials 📸 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram @ux.patricia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🐦 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter @ux_Patricia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin Patricia Reiners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📝 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My UX Design Blog ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎥 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube ⁠⁠
