Meta Ai: Inside the Lab events are showcases and announcements in research advances. On this project I had the pleasure of addressing the keynotes for Adaptive Interfaces and Neural Interfaces by researchers Benko and Jonker in 2021. The focus for these keynotes and animations was to shed light on how these technologies shape in the UI’s of our futures.
In order to visualize tasks performed using devices with the Intelligent Click technology from the user’s perspective, my part of this presentation was to brainstorm what that would look like and bring it to life.
The imagined UI overlays relatable and common activities such as cooking to convey the AI’s ability to adapt and learn to what the user is doing to what they might want next.
These steps are laid out as if one was following a recipe. A challenge I had was to think of details from how the animations would feel in real time, and how the UI would actually appear in our kitchens.
The flows above show the core concepts of how the research thus far can be broken down for an audience such as tech reporters and pro-sumer lenses down to the structure of the AR UI platform.
Harmonized icons adhering to the Meta’s AI brand guides were an important part of marrying the technical diagrams with the presentation design. The icon style was actually changed a few days within the finalization of the presenter decks, which posed a small challenge in that I had to entirely swap illustration styles in the making of the icons, the fingers and hands in this image in particular.
