A Deep Dive into “The Digital Me”
This year’s theme, “The Digital Me,” moved beyond traditional discussions of automation to explore the concept of Agentic Experiences. This forward-thinking theme examined how AI can transition from a simple tool to a seamless, personalized extension of an individual.
Discussions during the event highlighted key trends shaping the future of design:
Personalization and Context-Aware Experiences: Creating interfaces that adapt to the user’s specific needs and environment.
Spatial Design: Designing for immersive digital spaces, beyond the 2D screen.
Invisible Interfaces: Developing technology that is so intuitive it becomes part of the background, without requiring explicit interaction.
A core message for attendees was to embrace curiosity and a basic understanding of AI, empowering them to imagine ambitious new projects without needing extensive coding knowledge.
Key Insights from Design Leaders
The event featured a powerful keynote by Abhash Bikram Thapa, Director of Design at Leapfrog Technology Inc., who stressed the shift from simple visuals to immersive, human-centered experiences. “Design is no longer just about what we see on the screen; it has transcended to incorporate experiential elements of engagement, especially with AI in the mix,” Thapa stated.
