Context: I’m listening to Joshua Walton at the #CreatingRealityHackathon at USC. His talk is called UX for Created Realities. Personally found the part on Microinteractions (Dan Saffer) to be interesting.

Brainstorming

• A lot of this returns shit ideas –– rather than individual ideas
• The caveat is if you have the right structure for the brainstorming session it can be more
  beneficial
• key part: There’s no bad ideas but also no good ideas. People want to be heard but build
  on the ideas, go for quantities, and respect everyone and let everyone speak.

Tactics for brainstorming

• Do your project in 1 hour
• Work both top-down and bottom-up
• Iterate without fear

Microinteractions (Dan Saffer) and Tips

• Focus on dynamics that build on knowledge in the head (the Lab’s Longbow)
• Think about sense ratios and focus (Superhot)
• Sensing is a creative part of the design (some of the most innovative work creates a sense you
  didn’t know you needed)
• Use sounds right away
• Encourage people to look around
• Consistent interactions are way more valuable than realistic interactions
• content is king, context is scale
• as long as there’s language we’ll have 2D
• when you’re creating these new realities be a gracious host – learned from the hospitality industry
• create consistent space from which to explore
