Visual Communication Design, 2017

While virtual reality is a partial answer to 21st Century complexity, it must provide users with the multitasking capabilities they currently enjoy on desktop computers to make it truly useful for everyone. Workspace goes beyond current operating systems and multi-screen setups by providing more virtual space for computing while consuming less physical space, and allowing for truly 3-dimensional programs and interactions. Applications can be designed in new ways better suited to their purposes, with controls that can change in appearance within the visor to suit them. Together, this creates a system that is more flexible, more intuitive, more useful, and more fun.

Jacob Addison Katz is a visual communications designer from Cincinnati, Ohio, and a 2017 graduate of the Ohio State University. His particular passions are user-experience, information, and motion design, though he enjoys solving all nature of design problems. When not furrowing his brow in front of his laptop, Jacob is most often seen gadding about with a camera, tinkering with the innards of old electronics, or sitting at a calculated dead center in front of speakers blasting classic rock or indie pop.
