Branching Narrative, XR UX Designer REACTS to a GDC talk / XR UX Labs
Today, we’re wrapping up our study of Branching Narrative by seeing what we missed. We’ll be watching a GDC presentation by Cassie Phillipps from Pocket Gems. Then we’ll compare that to what we’ve studied in the past to fill in some of the gaps.
How does gaming advance your XR UX design career?
One of the first things I learned when transitioning to XR UX was that game design has a very direct influence on XR design and actually uses a lot of the same tools and methods. This is especially important for those that want to get into the XR or spatial computing field.
Join me for this free labs class and let’s practice our critical thinking to analyze games and discuss how we can apply that knowledge to XR UX design.
