    DesignamiteFM # 5 - UX Design Beyond the Screen

    Episode five is all about UX Design Beyond the Screen. Often, as experience designers, we tend to limit ourselves to designing just around the screens, but the term means a lot more.

We touch upon topics like architecture, print design, service design, branding & packaging design, user manuals, car controls, the touch screen in a Tesla Model 3, the Tesla AutoPilot, the SpaceX dashboard UI, micro-copy design, US road signs, experience design for elevators, the psychology of waiting, designing for the internet of things (IoT), sustainable design, designing for extended reality (XR), gesture controls using Google's Project Soli in the Pixel 4, tactile displays, and smell & sound design. --- Links from the episode: SpaceX Dashboard UI: https://uxdesign.cc/how-i-recreated-crew-dragons-ui-15877eddf3ed SpaceX Dashboard UI Figma Prototype: https://bit.ly/31Ugq3R American Highways 101: Visual Guide to U.S. Road Sign Designs & Numbering Systems: https://99percentinvisible.org/article/american-highways-101-visual-guide-to-u-s-road-sign-designs-numbering-systems/ 99% Invisible Episode - Wait Wait…Tell Me!: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/wait-wait-tell-me/ Google's Project Soli: https://atap.google.com/soli/ Google’s Project Soli: the tech behind Pixel 4’s Motion Sense radar https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/15/20908083/google-pixel-4-project-soli-radar-motion-sense-explainer This is what Soli ‘sees’ when you perform gestures on the Pixel 4 https://9to5google.com/2020/03/12/pixel-4-soli-gestures/ Tactus Technology Tactile Touchscreen | CES 2013 | WIRED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JelhR2iPuw0 Tactile Keyboards That Rise Out of Touchscreens Are Finally Here https://gizmodo.com/keyboards-that-rise-out-of-a-touchscreen-are-finally-he-1685246880 Twenty Thousand Hertz Episode - Sonic Seasoning: https://www.20k.org/episodes/sonicseasoning --- Stay Tuned for more mind-blowing conversations at DesignamiteFM.  Follow us on the socials: Twitter: @DesignamiteFM Instagram: @DesignamiteFM This podcast is hosted by Abhimanyu Sirothia (@whizabz) and Laveek Garg (@glaveek).
