How do you “talk” to the machine in a way that it will understand, and how do you interpret its response to you? Many principles of how we interact with computers are so familiar to us that we don’t stop to think how they came to be that way. In this class, we’ll discuss this history of how people have adapted themselves to these “thinking machines,” learn about many of the innovators who defined how we interact with computers today, and explore how over time we’ve changed the way computers work so they better meet our needs.

But you can increase your odds, and one of the best ways to do this is to really understand users' reasons for doing things. Indi Young's Mental Models workshop will give you the tools to help you grasp, and design for, those reasons.

Lisa Herrod - Web usability: a holistic approach Creating a great 'User Experience' is now expected not only of the Usability Specialist, but also of the entire project team. More than ever, web practitioners across all roles within a team are required to have knowledge of and even experience in conducting user research and usability testing. The current economic climate adds to this pressure as businesses strive to get the best from their online investments. This workshop is for people who need to understand usability in the context of their role, who want to improve their skills and take a more professional approach to it in their work. This is a hands on practical workshop combined with discussions on a variety of methods and approaches to implementing usability in the real world.

This workshop continues a successful series of workshops that focus on new approaches to overcome these issues. Examples are the usage of external visual interfaces (e.g. projector phones, public displays, interactive surfaces) and additional input capabilities (e.g. gestures, on-body interfaces, pointing) and innovative feedback mechanisms (e.g. tactile feedback). The workshop combines technical presentations with the presentation of prototypes and focused discussions to drive interaction between participants. Topics ------- Topics of the workshop are applications, interaction techniques, frameworks, and user studies in the area of mobile interaction with the real world. Possible research themes include (but are not limited to): * Extending the user interface beyond the mobile device * Mobile interaction with real world objects and smart objects * Wearable computing and wearable input devices * Multimodal interaction techniques using mobile phones * Augmented and mixed reality on mobile devices * Interaction techniques using external displays, projector phones or floor displays * Using mobile device's sensors for pervasive applications * Novel interfaces for conveying spatial information * Pervasive interaction metaphors * Guidelines and standards for mobile interactions with the real world * Interaction techniques using multiple mobile devices * Support of knowledge processes and collaboration through mobile and wearable technologies Important Dates --------------- * Monday May 4, 2009 - Submission Deadline * Friday May 18, 2009 - Acceptance Notification * Tuesday June 23, 2009 - Revised Manuscript Due * Tuesday September 15, 2009 - Workshop Date 674 Germany The 4th MIRW workshop invites papers which focus on new mobile and wearable input and output interfaces which allow simpler and straightforward interactions with mobile services and applications. 2009-09-15 false http://mirw09.offis.de http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/674 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/674/logo-quad.png evaluation, experience, hci, interface, mobile, mobile device, mobile interaction, nfc, pervasive, phone, projector phone, real world, smart objects, ubiquitous, user study Lugano Switzerland 2009-09-19 This workshop will teach you how to develop your first interfaces' project.

But let's take a step back and look at the environments in which these apps live. How do we effectively design a service that offers not just apps, but SMS, mobile web, HTML5, and desktop integration? And can such environments exist on other platforms besides the iPhone? Join us for an evening with Leland Rechis of Twitter, as he tells us what mobile services have to offer, what other operating systems offer, and how to tie them together to deliver great experiences for a wide range of users. Join us for a great discussion on mobile user experience - meaning, come prepared with questions! ABOUT THE SPEAKER Leland Rechis has designed mobile experiences for many mobile services, including Google Search, Android Market, and most recently, Twitter. In addition to the Android Market, Leland led the design of key services core to the openness of the Android operating system, including the Web Browser, Input Methods, and Application management and security.

Design for Conversion is not for the faint at heart as there is no escaping the interactive nature of the format. You will have to be willing to burn and learn. The interaction takes place in a special exchange with the international key note speakers. Besides being experts in their field, just as importantly, the speakers become actively involved in the participants’ team challenges. This expectation to get involved may not be for everybody, but one thing’s for sure boring it is not! Why the Mobile Edition: Addressing the need to drive conversion through portable devices is unavoidable in this day and age. Consumers increasingly expect access to quality services irrespective of where they happen to be. Not long ago something always seemed to be missing from the business equation, be it infrastructure, standards, devices, applications or business models. That was then, this is now: companies who continue to ignore the opportunities targeting consumer behaviour and driving conversion through portable devices will be missing out big time! For this special Mobile Edition, the Design for Conversion team has yet again managed to interest a star cast of speakers. With pride they present: Priya Prakash – Creative Director for Consumer Experience, Nokia Eric Siegel – President, Prediction Impact Inc. Scott Weiss – Symbian Foundation, Chair of UI Council Jerome Nadel - Senior Vice President of User Experience at Sagem Wireless Further information on the speakers: http://designforconversion.nl/speakers/ 1378 Netherlands On December 11th Design for Conversion (DfC) will host its first Mobile Edition ! 2009-12-11 false http://www.designforconversion.nl http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/1378 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/1378/dfc_banner_duo4.gif amsterdam, analytics, mobile, online business, persuasive, ux, workshop Copenhagen Denmark 2011-04-02 SnitkerGroup, the Danish partner of the UXalliance, a global network of specialized user experience (UX) companies, invites a team of international experts to Copenhagen for a unique User Experience Masterclass on Friday, April 1st, with a full day of tutorials on Thursday, March 31st, 2011 at the Marriott Hotel.

User Centric, a user experience research and design firm based in Chicago, and the UXalliance, a partnership of user experience firms from 23 countries, bring together accomplished UX professionals and user experience enthusiasts at the two-day event. The UX Masterclass will allow attendees to tap into trending topics in healthcare, mobile, design and eye tracking led by global experts in these fields. “User Centric is excited to bring the conference to Chicago this year, because attendees will learn so much. What we do, user research and design, isn’t just about a product—it’s about the entire experience. Sometimes the change we affect is revolutionary but more often the small differences matter. Either way, we should recognize that what we do matters.” said Gavin Lew, User Centric Managing Director. With three successful global conferences held in New Zealand, Canada and Denmark in the last 18 months, this event will appeal to user experience enthusiasts who understand that great experiences lead to customer loyalty. The most recent UX Masterclass in Copenhagen, held on April 1 of this year, gave over 200 attendees an opportunity to learn first-hand from 40 leading experts. “This conference is more than moving from presentation to presentation. We want to make sure that attendees have the opportunity to share and debate practices and trends. We will have workshops and plenty of interaction allowing attendees to exchange ideas with colleagues from around the world,” said UXalliance Marketing Coordinator Aimee Reif.
