Switch from Flat Design to Material Design
User experience design has started moving on a more engaging level with responsive animations, 3D icons, light and shading features, transitions, and much more.
Voice-Activated User Interface
Eliminating the need to type through voice-activated interfaces is, thus, the next big trend in 2019. Since the start of voice assistants, 90% accuracy in voice commands is the new normal, thus making the voice-activated interface a rather handy option.
Content-Oriented Experiences
UX, as we see it now, is incomplete without content. 2019 plans to make content a major part of the design itself. Consider making relevant content available and accessible to your target audience as a part of the UX design principles.
Personalized User Experience
The customer prefers those interfaces, which are personalized to their convenience and tastes. Personalization is a UX trend that is dynamic. Its USP is that it learns and adapts. By personalizing a user’s experience, you are offering something useful based on the users’ characteristics, behaviors, attributes and/or data analysis.
The Rise of the Video
Today videos are already in the limelight for grabbing the attention of the users, be it on social media or eCommerce stores. It is one of the most beautiful ways to deliver an experience that has been created around content that matters.
Time-Saving, Simple Navigation
Navigation thus needs to be as clear, simple, and time-saving as possible. The flow of features and functionalities should be simple so that there can be quick problem solving through interactions.
Augmented Reality is Here
The advances, which this technology is making, spell the future of user experience and even predict the user’s next action or query in the customer’s journey.
Biometric Authentication is Becoming the Norm
In a decade when security issues have scared businesses to death, identity management and authentication are prime concerns. Biometric authentication is here to solve it, and thereby become one of the extremely important UI and UX trends. This is one technology that can ensure security for both, the businesses as well as the end users, thus improving user experience substantially.
Design that’s Device Agnostic
Given the large number of connected devices that deliver digital experiences to users, the aim now is to deliver a seamless experience no matter what device it is being delivered for.
Foldable Displays Demand More
Yes, foldable displays are no more a dream. The prototypes are here and this is what the best of businesses will aim to cater to. Though more of a challenge, since the UX design, in this case, is going to be different from responsive design, the trend will rise as the prototypes are launched.
