These ideas will be brought to life at the conference as: * guest speakers push our understanding of "experience" in the context of current design frameworks * tutorials extend our skill sets beyond the confines of the monitor, and * presentations of carefully selected papers bring together the worlds of industry & academia to form new narratives Conference Program http://dux2007.com/attend/program.php Tutorials http://dux2007.com/attend/tutorials.php Invited Speakers http://dux2007.com/attend/speakers.php?list Sponsoring Societies: AIGA + ACM SIGCHI & SIGGRAPH 328 IL Conference on Designing for User Experience 2007-11-05 false http://dux2007.com http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/328 design thinking, user experience design, user research, ux Chicago USA 2007-11-09 Pathfinder will provide a real world example of user centered design being used in developing healthcare software. We will be presenting a case study featuring, IDM, A HAEMONETICS® Company and leader in medical software and support. The presentation will outline some of the unique challenges encountered during the project, as well as, opportunities for improvement that were identified while developing IDM’s next generation of product offerings. Pathfinder will also be leading an interactive session, designed to address one of the biggest technology issues in healthcare today. Entitled “Interacting with Software and People – At the Same Time”, the session will examine ways for healthcare practitioners to communicate with people and technology, simultaneously conveying critical information electronically without sacrificing compassionate and attentive patient care. Attendees will have an opportunity to brainstorm with us and uncover new approaches to this difficult dilemma that has the potential to impact us all. Please join us in support of World Usability Day. Registration is FREE! There is no better time or opportunity to learn more about usability and to make a difference in the future of technology.

Often product managers are caught in the middle of a continual tug of war between design and development trade offs with competing priorities and artificial time lines. Finding the right balance can be tricky but the benefits are huge. This presentation will help you avoid some of the most common mistakes in software development by highlighting proven strategies you can use to drive product enhancements, lower development costs and accelerate your time to market. You will learn tips and tricks for leveraging user experience design together with Agile development best practices to break projects into small steps, create realistic time frames, meet deadlines, and deliver new features and releases every few weeks while incorporating constant feedback and improvements. These techniques are based on real world experiences and are applicable at any stage in the development cycle. 388 Join Pathfinder's Director of User Experience Design, Matt Nolker at 12:00 EST, for a webinar on incorporating user experience design together with Agile development to create better software, faster 2008-01-16 true http://community.featureplan.com/community/2008/01/webinar_january_16_1200pm_est.php http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/388 agile, development, user experience design New York USA 2008-07-25 - – - – - – - – - RSVP to: nyc-rsvp (at) ixda (dot) org - – - – - – - – - Throughout the electronic age, people have become accustomed to interacting with digital media indirectly, mediated through screens and peripheral devices. But now, as digital technology becomes invisibly embedded in everyday things, the “feeling” of everyday things is also increasingly becoming embedded in digital technology. In many senses, physical objects are becoming more important. In an immediate way, they can help us define new systems of relationships with digital information. Luke Williams, Creative Director at frog design, examines how perceptions and gestures formed through our experiences with physical products can effectively bring liberty to the relationship between brain, body, and digital media interface.
