Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 009: The Fabric of Spatial Computing
Q: What garment should every 3D apparel student learn first?
A basic block is essential because it provides the standard shape and proportions from which all drapes and variations are developed, forming the foundation for 3D pattern work.
Episode 004: Exploring Spatial UX with Oliver Weidlich
Q: How important is onboarding for Vision Pro experiences?
Oliver stresses onboarding as essential due to diverse user backgrounds and the strong intuitive base of Vision Pro; effective onboarding includes calibration, guided trials, and progressive exposure to interaction basics to avoid overwhelming new users.
Episode 004: Exploring Spatial UX with Oliver Weidlich
Q: What are the biggest challenges when moving ideation to prototyping for spatial apps?
He highlights the current fragility of the ideation-to-prototyping process, the need to reframe clients from flat rectangle thinking to spatial concepts, and the role of prototyping tools like hands-on lab experiments and early on-device testing to communicate ideas more effectively.
Episode 004: Exploring Spatial UX with Oliver Weidlich
Q: What brought you to immersive and spatial computing?
Oliver explains his long trajectory in UX and HCI, noting a passion for how people interact with computers and how spatial interfaces require reframing thinking beyond flat 2D design, with hands-on research across multiple XR platforms and collaboration with academic and industry partners.
Episode 002: Part 2 – Cardboard Mac
Q: How do you view the role of sound and feedback in spatial interfaces, and what examples stand out?
Sound design is crucial for conveying state and feedback in 3D space; examples include the iconic vice grip sound for unlocking devices and the broader use of pitch and tone to signal actions and status within the environment.
