How does traditional UX vs. UX for IoT devices (with display) differ?

February 2, 2023 by Swathi Kirthyvasan

Some of the key differences between traditional UX and UX for IoT are:

  1. Interaction: Traditional user experience primarily relies on mouse and keyboard input, while IoT devices often use touchscreens, voice commands, or gestures. When designing for IoT, these considerations need to be kept in mind.
  2. Context: IoT devices are often used in different environments and contexts, so when you are designing the user experience for these devices, you must consider these factors and adjust accordingly.
  3. Display: The display size and form factor of IoT devices vary greatly, and so when designing, you must take these limitations into account.
  4. Input methods: IoT devices may have limited input methods, such as a small screen or limited buttons, which can impact the user experience.
  5. Network connectivity: IoT devices often rely on network connectivity, which can impact the user experience if the connection is slow or unreliable.
  6. Power constraints: IoT devices often have limited power supplies – when designing the experience for IoT, you must consider the battery life and power efficiency of the device.
  7. Security: IoT devices may collect and transmit sensitive personal information, so the experiences that are being designed must consider security and privacy.

In conclusion, designing UX for IoT devices requires a different approach than traditional UX due to the unique challenges posed by these devices. As a designer, you must consider all of the mentioned factors when it comes to creating effective and user-friendly experiences for IoT devices.
