In partnership with several Open Innovation partners like University of Southern California, Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Tampere University of Technology, Nokia is planning to introduce a new User Interface which will combine the personalization and adaptive aspects of the device with data-sharing enabled by the back-end infrastructure and the seamless integration with Internet services and incorporate an individual’s unique characteristics (e.g., movements, activities, environment) and personal needs (e.g., preferred input/output modalities, service preferences, etc.) to seamlessly blend with their lives and to deliver superior consumer experiences.
Among the aspects that the team is working on includes:
* Web User Interface and User Experience
* Innovate, Design, Experience, Animate
* Conversational User Interface
* Cognitive User Interface
* Sight, Sound and Gaze
* Social & physical Proximity Interactions
* Multimodal and multimedia user interactions
* Multimodal Interactions
* User Experience and Design
* Visual Computing for Ubiquitous Imaging
* Mixed Reality Solutions
* Immersive Communication
* Mixed Reality Experiences
* Africa User Experiences
* India User Experiences
* Growth Market User Experience & User Interface
Sample Improvement: A traveler arriving at a hotel in another country will soon be able to rely on their mobile to translate languages on the fly, making sure that both the receptionist and the traveler are 100% sure of their interactions.
Looking at this list of plans, I could say that the future is perfectly bright for Nokia. Hopefully though that it arrives sooner than later because the company is striving in the touch arena at the moment. It needs a great improvement to be able to compete with the heavyweights. The sooner the better!
