How: Register at http://ideaconference.org/2008/register.html Sponsorship: http://ideaconference.org/2008/sponsors.html Preconference presented by Maya Design October 6, 2008 Throughout their days, people are engaging with complex information to manage their lives. Designers now realize that information isn't simply this stuff you find -- the appropriate presentation of information helps people make sense of the world around them. The IDEA Conference addresses issues of design for an always-on, always-connected world. Where "cyberspace" is a meaningless term because the online and offline worlds cannot be made distinct. Where physical spaces are so complex that detailed wayfinding is necessary to navigate them. Where work processes have become so involved, and so digitized, that we need new processes to manage those processes. Bringing together people who are addressing these challenges head on, the IDEA features speakers from a variety of backgrounds to discuss designing complex information spaces in the physical and virtual worlds. Conference Website: http://ideaconference.org Registration: http://ideaconference.org/2008/register.html Speakers & Program: http://ideaconference.org/2008/program.html Early Bird prices are available until Aug 17 IAI Student Member $250 IAI Member $350 Pricing for Groups of 5-8 members IAI Student Members $200 IAI Members $300/ea Non-Members $400/ea Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Nice NY Times article on interface design changes (David Malouf)
dave -- wow; talking about interfaces right out in public and everything it will be interesting to see how the touch paradigm plays out -- i was at an adaptive path ux conference in feb, and the workshop sessions produced a lot of wii and iphone one-offs; those are clearly the current early adopt paradigms; will they work their way out to the masses -- self checkout at the supermarket gets an upgrade, paypass for the gas station can be in your phone, etc -- or stay at the boutiquey end of things ... and what will be the next new thing after that things change as you use them; ask any kid who's been told to wash an icicle before eating it -- lk Request Marketing, Inc. http://www.requestmarketing.com 917.797.8675 | cell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

[IxDA Discuss] re -- Universal Principles of Interaction Design; contribution for the next edition
re: Universal Principles of Interaction Design thank you for the wonderful discussion of this classic book -- it brought back so many memories of happy late nite discussions around the studio, waiting for the rendering boxen to finish seriously, really brilliant my .02 for the next edition -- feel free to distribute with attribution, in all media, including those not yet invented: -- users, users, users, users > does your shiny, matte, interactive, plugin, wood, metal, new ***thing*** allow users to do things they want to do? > will your users tell other users good things about this new ***thing*** , and if so are there ways for more to join? or if they have bad things to say, are there ways for you to learn from that? > what does your new new ***thing*** offer users the doing of, and how will they be done > are they useful, beautiful, mood-appropriate to the task and, in my 5 yo's case, pink? > do you get out of the user's way to let them do what they are doing > can the user do more things with this tool than you ever intended (ie the use of ipods as data storage/retrieval boxes as a plot feature in spook country) that said, i have donated to olpc to get the devices in the hands of children far away because i do believe that they are an extradordinaty way of saying that children and their education are important, but have passed on acquiring one for mine: as much as i wanted to see one and touch one and use one and have my kid experience it, i do believe that the network effects of olpc are one of the most powerful aspects of the tool, and i decided to spend the money on a donation that i would have spent on having one to play with in my non olpc networked area -- Request Marketing, Inc. http://www.requestmarketing.com 917.797.8675 | cell [EMAIL PROTECTED] *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
