Hardware UX is a community for the people who design, research, prototype, and ship physical products.
Join the Community ↗We bring together interaction designers, UX researchers, industrial designers, mechanical engineers, electronics engineers, prototypers, and product teams who care about how people experience hardware.
Because designing a button, a dial, a wearable, a speaker, a medical device, or a piece of industrial equipment comes with challenges that software communities rarely discuss.
Across industries, the same hard questions come up again and again:
The answers exist across industries—but they're rarely shared. Hardware UX exists to change that.
Talks, workshops, case studies, and practical discussions from professionals working on real products.
Exchange methods, tools, suppliers, research approaches, and lessons learned across industries.
Meet people working at the intersection of hardware, software, research, engineering, and design.
Build a stronger understanding of what great user experience means when the interface isn't just a screen.
Whether you're designing headphones, medical devices, bicycles, power tools, smart home products, laboratory equipment, wearables, or something entirely different, Hardware UX is a place to learn from others facing similar challenges.
Physical products deserve a user experience community of their own.
