Keynote: Alle Kreativen sterben aus – GenAI gewinnt
(All creatives are dying out - GenAI wins)

Richard Bretschneider

10:00 – 10:45

Today, AI makes it possible to generate music at the touch of a button, whereby any style and artist can be imitated. This raises questions about authenticity and the concept of the artist. The lecture shows how AI opens up new creative possibilities for musicians, for example through intelligent interfaces, hand tracking or automated sound organisation. AI can optimise the user experience and make the technology invisible in order to promote pure creativity.

Replace me if you can

Tina Marschner & Danny Hucke | IT Sonix

10:50 – 11:20

A little experiment - a design expert and a backend expert competed against each other to build a web application using AI tools - a mood tracker that combines both design and functionality. They wanted to find out whether they could take over each other's tasks with the help of AI tools. Both had the same goal: to create a small, digital product that includes both front-end and back-end components as well as design.

Von Chatbots zu Freunden: Designprinzipien für Conversational AI
(From chatbots to friends: Design principles for Conversational AI)

Dominique Winter | Produktwerker

11:40 – 12:10

The presentation will shed light on how conversational AIs such as ChatGPT can contribute to the development of successful products by building positive relationships with users. The focus is on AI behaviours that foster emotional connections, for example through forms of politeness or the personalisation of devices. These relationships offer opportunities for an enriching user experience and present designers with new challenges.

Understanding Brain-Body Interaction and Integrating Context: Designing for an Inclusive Future (engl.)

Ravi Kanth Kosuru | Fraunhofer IAO

12:15 – 12:45

Interfaces that utilise neurophysiological information offer unique opportunities to broaden the user's perspective and enable more inclusive interaction technologies to support people in their everyday and professional lives. The presentation will provide insights into projects that show how such approaches help to create inclusive environments that take people with different abilities into account.

Human Factors als Schlüssel zu fairen und sicheren Verkehrssystemen
(Human factors as the key to fair and safe transport systems)

Oliver Singler | Bauhaus-Universität Weimar

14:00 – 14:30

As road users, cyclists and pedestrians are particularly at risk. In order to improve the safety of these vulnerable groups, modern usability methods are used to research human reactions in critical situations. The use of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) can optimise road safety in urban areas and promote fair mobility, for example in connection with roadworks.

Women's Safety in Smart Cities + Women's Body Image on E-Commerce websites (engl.)

Margarita Osipova + Co Presenter | Bauhaus-Universität Weimar

14:35 – 15:05

Generative UI: Verbesserung der Nutzererfahrung durch Automatisierung
(Generative UI: improving the user experience through automation)

Holm Hänsel | Jambit

15:10 – 15:40

Generative UI is revolutionising digital design by using algorithms to automatically create and personalise user interfaces. This technology enables dynamic adaptations to different devices and user needs, which greatly increases efficiency and scalability in UI design. Despite technical challenges, Generative UI offers innovative approaches for a customised and future-oriented user experience.

Workshop 1: UX-Writing

Birgit Horn | Invision

10:50 – 12:45

In this workshop, you will learn how to create clear and standardised texts for typical B2B software user actions such as creating, reading, editing and deleting data. You will learn how to formulate buttons, window titles and success and error messages in such a way that they are intuitively understandable and guide users in a targeted manner. You will also discover the advantages of standardised text patterns and how they not only make your work easier and faster, but also improve the user experience and simplify subsequent translation.

Workshop 2: KI zum Anfassen
(AI you can touch)

Tina Marschner & Danny Hucke | IT Sonix

14:00 – 15:40

After the exciting presentation, you can get active yourself! In the interactive workshop, we will show you some tools that are helpful for prototyping and how you can use them directly. Join us and experience first-hand what is already possible - and where technology still reaches its limits. Join in and be surprised!
