sketching smart things: user experience design of ubiquitous computing devices
DESCRIPTION
[Slideshare note: download to see the notes, which have the transcript of the talk in them] The user experience design of ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) products is a new branch of design. Like Web design was different from traditional graphic design, ubicomp user experience design is different from traditional industrial design. Mike will discuss how he has tackled (and occasionally has gotten tackled by) the unique challenges of ubicomp UX. He will reposition the notion of information as a design material, and propose merging interaction design with the principles of agile software development to create new tools for prototyping new interactions.TRANSCRIPT

‘Applianceness’ [is] the set of properties that guide the design process towards simple, helpful devices that exploit the potential of embedded information technology in everyday things.
