Evangelizing and Designing Voice User Interface: Adopting VUI in a GUI world

Friday 11:45 Westerliefde #WL
By Stephen Gay and Susan Hura

Evangelizing and designing voice user interface in an organization with a long GUI-only history.

Apple’s Siri and Google Now have ignited consumers’ interest in voice user interface (VUI) by delivering valuable and delightful customer experiences. Innovative companies can leverage VUI solutions to create a competitive advantage. But how do you drive the adoption of VUI in an organization with a long GUI-only history? We'll share the frameworks we used to evangelize VUI, offer key insights and design principles to help you start your own grassroots VUI movement, and provide best practices and a VUI brainstorming canvas.

The session will include:

  • Share a “human centric” story about the ups and downs of evangelizing VUI
  • Share in-house developed VUI prototypes and great external examples

Participants will walk away with:

  • 4 VUI behavior themes
  • 4 VUI opportunities (for future brainstorming using VUI canvas)
  • 5 key strategies to evangelize VUI
  • 5 VUI design principles for the creative process
