In Rethinking UX, various UX professionals share their lessons learned and provide practical advice from their very own personal experience. The book is packed with interesting thoughts and concepts that let us reflect on our own practices. Every designer has their own user research techniques and strategies, but leaving the office and talking to people on the streets can foster innovation even more as any thought-out strategy ever could.

Is empathy possibly the best guarantor for great UX? Overcoming traditional patterns and designing with a new type of user in mind is among the many topics of this book.

Of course, you can also get your hands on some future scenarios. The Smashing authors dare to sneak a peek at some new challenges that we could face with the rise of innovative technologies such as Google Glass and Leap Motion, and explore how we can embrace entirely gesture-driven interfaces today. This book is a springboard for developing a new perspective and for creating future-proof user experiences.
