AI Aided Navigation Products be Smarter and More User-Friendly

A problem facing navigation products is the weakness and instability of users’ mobile phone signals. In the AI era, with promotion of technical and algorithm capabilities, can we help users rapidly and efficiently reach their destinations in any strange place?

Driven by AI technology, what should interactive designers do to utilize AI to serve the users? How to optimize the interactive design of navigation products to meet different user demands? We have found some methods upon exploration and practices. AI technical capability will enable users with big scenario environment perception and allow them to experience diversified navigation/navigated viewing/navigated shopping.

This workshop will help interactive designers to understand smart navigation in the AI era, help interactive designers, who are willing to turn to design AR products, to complete their knowledge system; new-comers to develop AI design ideas; and visual and product designers to master knowledge on AI interactive design and promote their career competitiveness.

This workshop’s core contents:
1. AI drives changes in life
