The most common cinematic villains are categorized by archetype, and their needs are described through the lens of target personas, because the principles of good design are important, even when you have your own volcano and an army of robots. The lecture explores the possibilities arising from the potential fusion of big data, artificial intelligence, and data visualization into new, super-powerful management tools that seem alarmingly realistic and close to our present day.
This presentation examines UX topics such as usability, readability, and cognitive effort within an unusual cinematic context, but also raises several questions related to the development of AI, the militarization of digital technologies, the role of the UX designer, the violation of personal data privacy, and more.
It is suitable for a broad audience with an interest in the development of screen interfaces and technology in general.
