Designing the Future: Real-Time Digital Design in a Mixed Reality Landscape

Abstract

Graphic design is mostly concerned with static images, such as posters or packaging, but digital design involves the creation of dynamic experiences that incorporate navigation and user interaction. Real-time digital design represents the most innovative and challenging area in such design. The article attempts to comprehend the role of mixed reality (MR) in the modern world from the standpoint of convergence of technological and societal aspects and implications of the development of relevant tools and environments. Based on structural and functional approach, the directions, prospects, and advantages of using MR tools in real-time digital design are considered. It is shown that interdisciplinarity represents one of the fundamental characteristics of design and is associated with the multidimensionality and complexity of design. Much attention is paid to the phenomenon of participatory design, the development of which today is largely based on MR and creates evident societal implications, ecologies of social and technological transformation
