Future

My main goal now is to get a better understanding of what makes interactions feel good. Aesthetics of interactions learned me that there are many components that contribute to this, but I think there is still a lot I can learn here. My project 3 subject was Juiciness, which is the aspect of games, or things in general that make it feel good when you play/use them. Similarly, my FBP project concerned itself a lot with the value of a material in terms of the way it makes people feel. I think this is a very interesting area of research, and I think it will remain relevant for me in the future.

In addition I want to explore how AI tools can be implemented in workflows to make them more engaging and help lift some steps of the shoulders of the users. With chatGPT growing to be a fully usable tool, I want to know what its place will be in the world, and in a design process. Similarly, AI imaging tools such as midjourney and stable diffusion will certainly claim a place in ideation and prototyping, and I want to see how I can use these. I want to build fuild further on my own experience with hatbots and machine learning to implement these kinds of tools where that is appropriate.
