1. Mobile & IoT – Input
Mechanism

• Keyboard – Hard to type for too long, eyes


on the screen
• Touch – Gestural languages are hard to
learn, limited use case for IoT.
• Eye Gaze – Infrared Sensor (futuristic)

• Voice - Yes!!
2. Mobile First to Voice First
3. IOT –
Simply

4.4 Conversational / AI based: chatbot
4.5 Personal Identification: Voice Biometrics
5. VUI – Speech Recognition Technology
• Allows people to interact with a computer, smartphone or other
device through voice commands
• The prime examples
 Apple’s Siri
 Amazon’s Alexa
 Google’s Assistant
 Microsoft’s Cortana

• Design experiences for these devices using tools like Botsociety.


… cont.

• Unique of VUI – uses voice as the primary


mode of interaction
 Versus traditional keyboard-mouse-monitor
combination
 Versus touch screen

• Voice-first approach allow users:


 Initiate automated services
 Execute day-to-day tasks in a faster
 More intuitive manner
6. Benefits Of VUI
• Natural user interface
 Screen becomes secondary
 Screen fatigue
• Assistive technology users
 Low vision user benefit from audio
input/output
• Internationalization and offline support
 Language and Internationalization support is
easier to integrate
• Conversation is natural and intuitive
7. CUI : Conversational
• Low on cognitive load
User Interface For
• Ubiquitous computing - IOT, Mobile,
Bots Car, Smart Home etc.
8. Future of Interface -
“Personalized UX”
using voice

• Goal: To communicate
naturally with machine
• AI powered & voice driven:
 Tone of voice
 Choice of words etc.
9. Steps for designing VUI

i. Research audience
ii. Define capabilities and shape the product
 Creating key scenarios of interaction
 Make sure these scenarios work with voice
 The three factors- Intent, Utterance, Slot

iii. Create a prototype


iv. Test product
v. Refine
• The dialogue flow is the answer to the
question of “how to create voice
interaction between user and
technology”
• Can use several prototyping tools at
disposal for VUI
• Some of the most popular ones are
Amazon Alexa Skill Builder,
Sayspring, and Google’s SDK
