012: Voice as UI, with Scott Ryan-Hart

February 17, 2015

In This Episode:

We explore how our vocal chords control our electronic devices, and why the current implementations are leaving a bad taste in our mouth. Scott Ryan-Hart joins us as he is currently finishing up his Master's at Kent State University for User Experience Design. His thesis is about the mismatch between the user's mental model of Siri, and the conceptual model of Siri — and marketing's role in that.
