Anticipatory Design challenges our relationship with technology

08 June 2018 – Rotterdam

Design has always been crucial in the experience of a product or service. Design affects how we see, feel and think about things. With the dawn of fully automated consumer-facing systems, new guiding principles are desired since future designers will face much more responsibility concerning topics like privacy and data.

User Interfaces increasingly take different forms (e.g. voice-driven interfaces) that require a different way of design thinking. Current sets of design principles are insufficient for automation because principles regarding transparency, controls and privacy are missing. Anticipatory Design is a design pattern that moves around learning, predicting and anticipation.

Joël van Bodegraven is a UX Designer and Hyper Island Alumnus with a passion for technology and design. He did a Masters in Digital Experience Design and did research on machine learning-based predictive experiences and anticipatory design. Joël is currently working as Product Designer at TravelBird and is also the Founder of the Anticipatory Design Foundation and Movement.
