XR appreciation

This week I worked with IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) Jodhpur department of Design to teach students shared vocabulary for XR domain.

I walked them through following to give a 10feet to 10000feet view of designs.

1. Usability heuristics for XR. This is building on top of Jakob Nielsens 10 usability heuristics. I will have a separate article for this specifically
2. XR superpowers as idea generation technique. Once we know of problem domain before starting idea generation getting an understanding of what this medium is capable of and the possibilities can help designers think beyond their imagination.
3. Business model canvas for them to understand why they do what they do. This can be applied for any domain and team. Whenever you join a new team use this canvas to first get your understanding of the business on paper and then validate it with managers or company leaders to get clarity. This will massively help put your career on thruster.
4. Prioritisation frameworks for having a rational way of deciding which idea or design to pursue. Time is limited and essential factor in getting your product or design out. These frameworks help doing that with teams in quick and easy way. I talked about Impact-Effor matrix, MosCoW analysis, Kano model
5. Lastly I acquainted them with Agile methodology and various flavors of it followed by different Companies.

There were 26 participants and here’s NPS of the workshop.
