Summary:
Come and get a behind the scenes look into the actual process used to solve design problems behind the creation of...

~QVC Active - Mike Madaio, Chief Internet Architect, QVC.com
The first US real-time two-way interactive TV shopping service. Viewers use their remote control to make purchases in a real-time environment, just as the product is being showcased on TV.

~Russound UNO-TSV Smart Color Touchscreen - Kyle Pero, Founding Principal, Usable Interface
A touchscreen device that controls a multiroom entertainment system, lighting and climate control. Users can easily decide what music they'd like to play and what mood they want to set in different rooms in their home.

~In-Stadium seat-based ECommerce Platform - Bill Bulman, Partner, MessageFirst
A kiosk-based Rich Internet Application that allows sports fans to purchase concessions and merchandise from their seats. Fans feel closer to their team, while the team learns important consumer data from their fans.

Each of these products are very different, but some of the same user-centered design methods were used in their creation (i.e. contextual inquiries, paper prototyping, user testing, etc). Attendees will learn which methods were used, as well as, why and how they were implemented. Research findings, insights, and lessons learned will all be shared.
