Apart from cloud’s ability to scale, flexibility and ability to deliver new business models, you can also use it to personalize experiences, which your users are demanding these days.

Today, things have changed dramatically, and the focus is slowly shifting towards conversational and voice-based user interfaces, digital overlays with augmented reality and virtual reality. Throw in new input methods such as pen and gesture into the mix and you have a daunting challenge on user experience designers’ hands. The best way to overcome this hurdle is to create new user experience based on user demands.
