On Friday, July 7th, CHI NZ 2006 will be offering the following 3 hour tutorials:
Dr. Jeff Johnson
This tutorial surveys the knowledge that experienced user-interface designers draw upon in designing and evaluating software user interfaces. It provides a brief overview of the history of user-interface design as a recognized field of expertise, discusses the motivation for highly-usable products, and presents the important principles that guide successful UI design. Examples illustrating the benefits of following the principles -- and the pitfalls of not following them -- are provided from the instructor's experience.
Dr. Eva Hornecker, Dr. Mark Billinghurst
The tutorial will give an introduction to Interaction Design. This is an approach to systems design that focuses on the user's experience with technology rather than on the technology itself. A central point is looking at user's needs and wants, and investigating how products could fit with their use context. The tutorial will help you understand how Interaction Design leads to better products and will provide you with an overview of what it involves, from requirements analysis, user centered design, conceptual development and prototyping, to evaluation of prototypes and systems. Attendees will leave with the knowledge of the fundamentals of Interaction Design and how they can use them to improve their product research and development.
