ABSTRACT
The interfaces of the future will be both ubiquitous and invisible – they will be so seamlessly integrated into our lives that we will seldom need to be aware of their existence, let alone consciously interact with them using formal input / output formats. The number of channels and touchpoints through which companies interact with their customers will be equally scattered, smart and seamless. In such an environment, where intuition will replace conscious processes, how will we experience the brand? What will it mean to design a seamless User Experience? How will User Experience (UX) and Customer Experience (CX) overlap? And how will it impact the creation and delivery of customer-centric experiences?”
