Voice UX Drive-thru at White Castle

The drive-thru at White Castle is piloting a voice assistant. 

Let's hope everyone behaves and doesn't drop any tables...

Data is explained better with a story.

 

Testing in production

We can all agree that we test at some point in the process.  

Feelings wheel (emotions)

If we are aware of our emotions and feelings that is great. 

Most of the time we might only be aware of the core feeling. 

To really get an understanding of what you are feeling, you can view the next 2 rings. 

For example, 

Anger > Frustrated > Infuriated / Irratated

Happy > Joyful > Liberated / Ecstatic

By identifying the deeper level emotion you can be more self-aware. You can also use this tool in the other direction. If you are aware of a deeper emotion you can express to your relationships how you are feeling. This will help them to connect and understand your state of mind. Not by knowledge alone, rather because they are more likely to have had that core feeling and then can relate to your situation.

Brutus Buckeye - AI Generated artwork

Computers are getting smarter. There is a website that can generate artwork based on typed input. 

This is artwork based on the phrase "Portrait of Brutus the Buckeye as a human" 

Honestly, that could be a photo of a real fan - Buckeye fans are nuts!

Peeling a peel

Have you ever considered that we use the work peel to refer to the outer layer of a banana as well as the action of removing the outer layer of a vegetable.

So, what's your idea of a perfect date?

Product features vs User Needs

Sometimes what product team thinkgs the user needs is not actually what the user needs. 

 

Cat parents, is this true?
