Conversational UI alongside traditional controls. Sidebar chat manipulating main interface (Notion AI, Figma AI).
Spatial Design
Apple Vision Pro and Quest 3 drive 3D thinking. Glassmorphism evolved into true spatial panels. Depth cues and gaze interaction.
Micro-Interactions 2.0
Lottie animations, spring physics (Framer Motion), haptic-synced feedback. Subtlety is key.
Dark Mode Done Right
Layered surfaces with subtle elevation. Color-tinted backgrounds, not pure black. Use #0F0F0F, not #000000.
Variable Fonts
Single files with multiple weights. Fluid typography responding to viewport. Inter, Space Grotesk, Instrument Sans lead.
