Quantiphi finalized the acquisition of Candyspace. This action combines a computer company with a design studio. The merger brings the logic of the processor to the visual layout of the screen.
The office changes. Teams share a desk. Here is the part that actually matters to the staff: the programmers are learning the art of the user journey from the London creative team.
Technology provides the skeleton and the designers provide the skin. Capital moves through the bank accounts while the talent creates the product.
Contracts sign. Teams join. Systems merge.
Observe the result. A silent shift.
The automation of the user journey removes the requirement for a screen and the machine executes the task without a visible command.
The designer creates the logic for the interaction and the engineer builds the code for the execution. The processor calculates the probability of the request and the interface presents the solution to the person. Actually, you can drop that expectation of a manual menu because the system anticipates the need before the hand moves.
It works every time, well not really, but the efficiency increases with every update.
The Studio Floor Realities
Candyspace previously managed digital products for ITV and Mazda. Quantiphi provides the machine learning infrastructure to scale these products. The integration involves the transfer of hundred of staff members across global time zones.
The goal is the creation of assistants that perform administrative work for the public.
The Vanishing Screen
This might be surprising. The focus of the industry is the removal of the user interface entirely.
Companies are moving toward ambient computing where the software exists in the background. This shift requires a deep understanding of human psychology to ensure the machine remains a tool for the person.
