ProjectUX Podcast ProjectUX

In the first episode since the Coronavirus outbreak, we ask a lot of question about how this is effecting various media related industries.

How is it effecting the video industry? Is this an opportunity to create media in more creative ways using virtualized environments like AR and VR? 

What about meetings? Will more and more meetings be done remotely using apps like Zoom? What about conferences? Are there reasons to even have face-to-face meetings and conferences?

And, as usual, Cheenu pimps the potential of chatbots, which leads us to the thought, “Is Siri’s voice sexy?”.

Things do get a little political in talking about the Coronavirus situation so...beware!

Joining us on the podcast is magician James Munton. We talk at length about what it takes to create great experiences with magic and how that world parallels with UX design practices. Later, we talk about his podcast, AppleSauced, a podcast about technology, life, and beer. We chat a bit about how people’s experience with beer have changed, especially with the resurgence of local microbrews. And, being that James is from England, we talk about the difference between the US and UK pub scene.
