To that end, we continue the watch party this week with a look at best practices and tactics for designing and testing immersive experiences. eBay Sr. Design Research Manager for Mobile & Spatial Computing, Hannah Scurfield walks us through steps and considerations for optimizing killer immersive apps.
See the full video below along with TLDR (or TLDW) quick-hit takeaways.

See the full video below along with TLDR (or TLDW) quick-hit takeaways.
– When designing immersive experiences, know your audience. Build for regular folks, not just early adopters.
– Test experiences in real home and office environments for the right context and situational nuances
– Create design principles: a set of UX do's and don'ts to keep the experience safe and comfortable.
– Question existing design from legacy media. Don't just port elements like floating keyboards and app grids in VR.
– Lean into immersive capabilities when collecting data. See what users see, not just what they verbally report.
– Track usage over time to see how users evolve with a product, rather than a snapshot of the first interaction.
