2. Micro Interaction

An idea that will change the way we interact with devices in 2016 will be that it doesn’t require to be a two way dialogue. Subtle gestures like, a smile to capture a selfie, or blinking of eyes to swipe are going to take control of the rudimentary AI.

 4. Responsive Web Designs

5. Material Designs and Minimalism

The fascination with visual effects is fading away. A basic popping up ghost button with a simple border and a transparent background creates an ideal contrasting effect, and the result is an awe-inspiring design. This minimalistic design approach also saves up time by eliminating unnecessary elements.

6. Vertical Patterns

With new hand held devices being launched in the market every day, the act of clicking is becoming extinct. Everything should be available on the scroll of the finger. As a result, single page applications with parallax scrolling implemented in their designs will be a hot trend of this year.

7. Personalized User Experience

To obtain finer details about the pattern of each user, tracking their activity is at an all time high. Cookies are used for this purpose, and thus help you provide the user with the relevant content and increase the conversion rate. Linkage of accounts through social media also helps in certain cases, and provides meaningful information.

8. Card Layouts

This style of interface provides an easy and fun way of organizing and maintaining the content without any hassle. Being extremely functional, the boxes can be stacked across various columns for better use of the screen and is more engaging for the users. Pinterest is an example of how this style works.

This strategy has already been implemented and is in use by organizations like Uber (First the pick up address, followed by dropping address, and then post journey, driver’s rating).
