Hey, I loved your views. I am UX Designer from India with 5 years experience. I have already reached the point where I feel saturated. So, I have decided to learn XR design and I felt that it can give better experience than any other device so i started learning and designed few prototypes using figma. I want to get into XR industry as a XR designer as am based out of India there are very minimal chances so can you help how i can get into industry in any part of the world ?

Nice to meet you. I'm so glad you've found the video insightful. I'm not a professional career coach, so I can only share my observations. From what I've seen, regardless of the country (XR is an international community) you need to experiment in XR and put your work out there, and get involved in that international community. Just working on ideas in Figma isn't enough to help you grasp all of the nuances of the XR digital 360 space. There is much to learn by getting out of 2D tools and into 3D. Bezi is a free tool you could experiment with and use with a cardboard headset if budget is an issue. Speaking of Bezi, they're getting ready to run a design competition that will be judged by people from some well-known XR companies. I can't stress enough how important it is to get involved in the community and put your work out there. I wish you luck. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odCZlMKa3c7NfnU.htmlsi=yyMnAzNiwtuVubtj

It looks like you're kind of scattered in what it is you want to do with your career? I'm guessing you also don't want to spend any more money than you already have, which was probably a ton. Without knowing enough about your situation and background, I can only give a general recommendation based on what I did in the past. Even though it doesn't feel like it, you have a hopefully long life ahead of you and plenty of time to figure things out while you work. So, I would recommend focusing your portfolio on getting a job that your computer science engineering degree will help you get. Then while you're working and earning money to make a living for yourself, work on the side to learn XR Design. You don't have to spend a ton of money on classes, but it's not going to be quick or easy. You have to put in the work and share your work. There are no shortcuts unless you personally know someone already in the industry that's willing to give you chance. Also, join an XR community to get advice and help from other people in the industry. Here are some links to videos to give you more advice. The link to Dan's Discord is in his video show notes.

This is such a good video for those getting into XR. Such solid advice. Love this video! The hardest part is trying to decide (because of financial and time investment) on the headset and its compatibility with your computer's operating system. Without knowing how a particular device makes us or others feel, it becomes difficult to improve the experience and our work. It's all about having fun learning and pushing the envelope on that headset's features to make inclusive and enhanced creative experiences.

Oh, and to call out specific skills I think people should look to foster as an XR Designer, here's my own list: - Strong writing and verbal communication skills --- able to communicate complex ideas through engaging yet succinct descriptions - Immersive Storytelling abilities/interest --- able to (learn how to) write a script or storyboard for an XR experience - Aptitude for spatialized thinking --- able to visualize, explain, and/or depict spatial concepts - Cross-departmental communication skills --- able to work with developers, artists, project managers, clients, end-users, etc and communicate on their level - XR hardware familiarity --- able to troubleshoot, demonstrate, and communicate the limitations/advantages of different XR hardware - Strong user-centered design principles --- able to communicate the value of user-centricity and imbue it into every part of the design/development process - Accessibility advocacy --- able to transfer known accessibility standards, and discover XR-centric standards to every project Then you have your tool-based skills which are fairly easy to pick up, such as proficiency with Confluence or some other wiki-like tool for documentation, as well as Figma/Adobe/etc for UI, and whatever you use for user flows and presentations. Finally, ability to use/learn some tool for visualizing XR concepts, like ShapesXR or I guess Bezi. I think XR Design is a fairly generalist discipline. Though I do think 3D design skills or Unity skills could of course be helpful, I think any job that requires that of you is going to be less about the actual UX design aspect, and more about the art or dev implementation of whatever design is decided upon. The reality is that coding and 3D design are their own disciplines. They only really cross-over to UX XR design tangentially. I'd personally hire a (real) UX designer (ie not one who is actually UI designer), over a 3D artist or developer to train into an XR designer.
@ninjarobotstudiollc 7 ай бұрын
Awesome feedback, and I agree. UX is a different hat that needs to separate itself from the distraction of the polish and code. Sometimes you have to wear multiple hats, but it's pretty hard to do and one thing or the other will end up suffering because of it. It comes with experience.
@designtechi 7 ай бұрын
I was just facing this topic this morning. Much of what I see for desirable XR design jobs are more pushing for XR prototyping - so outright programming - with familiarity with design. This is an entirely different discipline and not even the only other skillset they ask so even though I am a generalist and spend alll my time upskilling, seeing mostly developer-designer roles isn't great when you specifically want to design and strategize. Great comment!

@@designtechi I haven't been looking at job listings, but I can imagine why that would be the case. Unfortunately, many companies have never been particularly UX-friendly in the first place.

Hopefully one can convince them though by showing the benefits of really solving problems rather than just prototyping. Wishing you all the luck in finding your ideal role!

This is interesting to see!! I've been in this space for like 2 and half years now and my own experience is fairly different than either of yours. For me, I've kind of crafted my own unique space as an XR designer that is more focused on the storyboarding side, since the (small) company I work for creates mostly training simulations for large clients. Further, my own background does not come from UX. I stumbled/carved my way into this field thanks to my passion for emergent technology (same as you there), but primarily through my job working at a VR arcade, where I got to play dozens of XR games PLUS see thousands of people actually engaging with those games. I'm with you on the UX for XR thing too. I don't even use 3D software much at all. We have 3D artists specifically for that, as well as Unity devs on the programming side, but none of them know much, if anything, about UX or storytelling. I find that a Huge missing piece in (t)his video is the importance of storytelling for XR design. Being able to tell stories in an immersive space is So different than any other type of design. I've found myself learning from movie directors, video game level design, urban planning, L&D, and fiction writing in addition to UX principles. But yeah, definitely need to be able to solve problems. But even that comes down to creating/finding a process that allows you to do so consistently and rigorously. And the dude is kinda toxic, indeed you need rest. And no company should demand you to work so much when at the end of the day, they will drop you as soon as it becomes financially expedient. If they want you to work so much, even if you are getting paid, they almost certainly dont care for your mental/physical health. I work a 9-5, very very occasionally we may have a bit of 'crunch' time, but we do our best to avoid it, and its always fairly optional. Spending time outside of work just doing stuff you enjoy is different, though and can help you grow as a person. No need to mistake one for the other. However, I do need to share my work online more! That's something I've been slacking on a lot! But I got plans for that. Thanks for this channel!! Interviewing all those years ago and seeing your growth has been incredibly inspiring and motivating.
