Huawei Terminal
UX Design Director
He led the design of various generations of systems from Huawei EMUI to HarmonyOS, established the brand image of HarmonyOS, and designed an integrated experience for all-scenario devices.
As the UX design director, he is responsible for establishing visual, interaction, experience and functional innovations, creating the HarmonyOS family design from flagship phones (Mate, Pura series, watches, smart screens, HarmonyOS computers, smart cabins (Huawei Select Car 5), etc. Let the visual elements of the HarmonyOS ring serve as distinctive features to initiate the design language of Huawei Harmony Dessign. And led the Huawei UX design team to win 39 international design awards.
Omni-Scenario Experience Design for HarmonyOS
Do you face this challenge? As users’ lives become surrounded by smartphones, tablets, smart screens, car systems, foldable devices, and more, how can design transcend device boundaries to deliver a cohesive, fluid, and intuitive experience? Huawei’s HarmonyOS practice reveals the solution.
This presentation will dissect how Huawei builds an omni-scenario experience design system for the era of "Seamless AIoT":
1. Foundation of Unified Experience: Discover how HarmonyOS constructs a universal design language and interaction framework—applicable across phones, tablets, PCs, smart screens, car systems, and IoT devices—from its underlying logic. This ensures "zero learning cost" when users switch between devices while experiencing seamless flow and harmonious aesthetics.
2. Innovative Form Breakthroughs: Focused on cutting-edge device challenges:
- Zunjie S800 Smart Cockpit: How to create safe, efficient, and immersive driving/entertainment experiences in a moving "third space"?
- MateBook Fold Laptop: How to redefine productivity tools with graceful transitions between folded and unfolded states?
- Tri-Fold Phone: How to reinvent interactions and content layouts for unprecedented screen morphologies?
3. Tech-Driven Design Barriers: Explore how HarmonyOS leverages technologies—distributed capabilities, AI, spatial computing, sensor fusion—to empower design. Achieve harmonious aesthetics across six dimensions: Light, Motion, Color, Force, Time, and Space. Immersive lighting, gravity-driven animations, dynamic themes, and axial symmetry aren’t just visual feasts—they form an experience moat.
4. Future Interaction Beyond Touch: Foresight into next-gen paradigms:
- Mid-air gestures
- Multisensory synergy (visual, auditory, haptic)
Uncover their technical foundations and blueprint for natural human-device interaction.
To explore how HarmonyOS connects all things through design, forging a harmonious digital world!
