7:00PM - 8:00PM - Rethinking the UX of IoT with Natural Language Voice Technology

With the explosion of mobile and IoT technology over the past few years, voice has become a primary interaction method for a growing and diverse range of apps and devices. Accompanying this growth is a shift to a self-service model of voice design and development, enabled by a new host of tools and platforms. Designers, developers, and product owners are finding themselves positioned to build their own cutting-edge natural language interfaces and to learn the disciplines of voice design and development at the same time.

In this discussion, Tanya Kraljic and Adam Emfield of Nuance will share their take on this space by way of their experience researching, designing, and using Nuances new developer ecosystem and natural language customization tool, Mix.nlu. Theyll talk through what they've learned from the first wave of developers and designers using the tool and many of the challenges and opportunities faced for the discipline as this space grows.
