Podcasts about interface design

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop talks with Will Bickford about the future of human intelligence, the exocortex, and the role of software as an extension of our minds. Will shares his thinking on brain-computer interfaces, PHEXT (a plain text protocol for structured data), and how high-dimensional formats could help us reframe the way we collaborate and think. They explore the abstraction layers of code and consciousness, and why Will believes that better tools for thought are not just about productivity, but about expanding the boundaries of what it means to be human. You can connect with Will in Twitter at @wbic16 or check out the links mentioned by Will in Github.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 – Introduction to the concept of the exocortex and how current tools like plain text editors and version control systems serve as early forms of cognitive extension.​05:00 – Discussion on brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), emphasizing non-invasive software interfaces as powerful tools for augmenting human cognition.​10:00 – Introduction to PHEXT, a plain text format designed to embed high-dimensional structure into simple syntax, facilitating interoperability between software systems.​15:00 – Exploration of software abstraction as a means of compressing vast domains of meaning into manageable forms, enhancing understanding rather than adding complexity.​20:00 – Conversation about the enduring power of text as an interface, highlighting its composability, hackability, and alignment with human symbolic processing.​25:00 – Examination of collaborative intelligence and the idea that intelligence emerges from distributed systems involving people, software, and shared ideas.​30:00 – Discussion on the importance of designing better communication protocols, like PHEXT, to create systems that align with human thought processes and enhance cognitive capabilities.​35:00 – Reflection on the broader implications of these technologies for the future of human intelligence and the potential for expanding the boundaries of human cognition.Key InsightsThe exocortex is already here, just not evenly distributed. Will frames the exocortex not as a distant sci-fi future, but as something emerging right now in the form of external software systems that augment our thinking. He suggests that tools like plain text editors, command-line interfaces, and version control systems are early prototypes of this distributed cognitive architecture—ways we already extend our minds beyond the biological brain.Brain-computer interfaces don't need to be invasive to be powerful. Rather than focusing on neural implants, Will emphasizes software interfaces as the true terrain of BCIs. The bridge between brain and computer can be as simple—and profound—as the protocols we use to interact with machines. What matters is not tapping into neurons directly, but creating systems that think with us, where interface becomes cognition.PHEXT is a way to compress meaning while remaining readable. At the heart of Will's work is PHEXT, a plain text format that embeds high-dimensional structure into simple syntax. It's designed to let software interoperate through shared, human-readable representations of structured data—stripping away unnecessary complexity while still allowing for rich expressiveness. It's not just a format, but a philosophy of communication between systems and people.Software abstraction is about compression, not complexity. Will pushes back against the idea that abstraction means obfuscation. Instead, he sees abstraction as a way to compress vast domains of meaning into manageable forms. Good abstractions reveal rather than conceal—they help you see more with less. In this view, the challenge is not just to build new software, but to compress new layers of insight into form.Text is still the most powerful interface we have. Despite decades of graphical interfaces, Will argues that plain text remains the highest-bandwidth cognitive tool. Text allows for versioning, diffing, grepping—it plugs directly into the brain's symbolic machinery. It's composable, hackable, and lends itself naturally to abstraction. Rather than moving away from text, the future might involve making text higher-dimensional and more semantically rich.The future of thinking is collaborative, not just computational. One recurring theme is that intelligence doesn't emerge in isolation—it's distributed. Will sees the exocortex as something inherently social: a space where people, software, and ideas co-think. This means building interfaces not just for solo users, but for networked groups of minds working through shared representations.Designing better protocols is designing better minds. Will's vision is protocol-first. He sees the structure of communication—between apps, between people, between thoughts—as the foundation of intelligence itself. By designing protocols like PHEXT that align with how we actually think, we can build software that doesn't just respond to us, but participates in our thought processes.

Unsere beiden heutigen Gäste haben unabhängig voneinander beeindruckende Wege hinter sich, bevor sie sich zusammenschlossen, um zusammen nachhaltige Formen von Organisations- und Wirtschaftstransformationen mitzugestalten. Sie studierte Design in Hildesheim und absolvierte anschließend einen Master an der Universität der Künste in Berlin. Über mehrere Jahre arbeitete sie im Interface-Design, war Service Design Lead bei Fjord und Head of Creative bei betterplace.org. Danach folgten Stationen als Gründerin (transitionbydesign.de) und als Country Manager Germany bei Demos Helsinki – immer mit einem starken Fokus auf gesellschaftlichen und nachhaltigen Wandel. Er begann sein Studium in der Rechtswissenschaft, wechselte später in die Medienmanagement-Forschung und promovierte im Bereich Medienökonomie. Nach Stationen als Projektleiter, Unit Director und Geschäftsführer in einer Strategieagentur gründete er mit “The Dive” eine eigene systemische Organisations- und Managementberatung, in der er heute zusammen mit ihr arbeitet. Gemeinsam bündeln sie nun ihre unterschiedlichen Perspektiven und Kompetenzen, um Unternehmen in eine regenerative Zukunft zu führen. Kürzlich veröffentlichten sie ihr gemeinsames Buch „Der Stellar Approach“. Es ist ein praktischer Transformations-Baukasten, mit dem Organisationen eine neue Form der Innovationskompetenz etablieren können. Seit fast acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 480 Gesprächen haben wir mit fast 600 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie geändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Welche praktischen Ansätze helfen Organisationen, sich nachhaltig zu erneuern und wirklich zukunftsfit zu werden? Wie spielen Design, Recht, Strategie und Medienökonomie zusammen, wenn es um tiefe Veränderungsprozesse geht? Und wie hilft „Der Stellar Approach“ dabei, eine neue Innovationskultur zu etablieren und so das Wirtschaftssystem von innen heraus weiterzuentwickeln? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei „On the Way to New Work“ – heute mit Ella Lagé und Simon Berkler. [Hier](https://linktr.ee/onthewaytonewwork) findet ihr alle Links zum Podcast und unseren aktuellen Werbepartnern

Anthony, Katie and special guest Maggie Appleton speculate about how AI could impact interface design in the future. The five possible futures we discussed: AI replaces designers and developers completely AI produces a rough draft, a designer “tidies it up” AI builds the interface out of supplied components and a description of how the interface works AI produces content/components on demand, designers change it to suit, then put the interface together Designers ask AI focused questions to get inspiration You can find Maggie on Twitter or on the web at https://maggieappleton.com/ Hosts: Anthony Hobday, Generalist Product Designer: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/hobdaydesign⁠⁠ Katie Langerman, Systems Designer: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/KatieLangerman

"8% of the male population is colorblind, especially to red and green. And so think about the stock market and how that reads, or any kind of financial or big data company and their prevalent uses of green and red.  People see those colors in shades of yellows and beige. ...I think accessibility design is still up and coming.  I think user experience as an industry is still in its infancy... incorporating it into corporate spheres, companies, what does that mean?  I make it a business to help build toolkits on how to define what it is that we do." "Generally people put out surveys at the beginning of a workflow or when someone first drops into their site before login or after login. But where I find that type of survey being really beneficial is after they do something.  So they come there with a certain thing in mind that they want to do.  That is exactly when you should throw up those two questions: a rating scale or an open ended.""Nashville is a place of connectors: "Hey, you know what? I know this person, let me email them for you. There is that love here of  meeting, meeting people  organically.""Design principles are  value statements that describe the most important goals that a product delivers for its users.""With with product led growth, focus on customer acquisition, your expansion and keeping your clients. There's four ways to do that. First: it's with user experience and an intuitive interface. Simplify the user journey. When someone's onboarding, consider how  they quickly understand the value of the product just because of the interaction they're having with the first page or the first few pages, and then make sure that it's a consistent experience across all devices. "The second one is UI. You user interface is really the visual appeal of designing for attention. We touch on this with graphic design. It's bringing clarity and language to guide people through features.  Think of things like feedback, how do you know this is working?""Another one that helps with product led growth is interaction design. Micro-interactions, you know, something that has minimal steps to complete the task or reduce friction and encouraging people to use the product later. A notification  saying, hey, you forgot something! Those are all ways that, you know, kind of brings growth. You don't necessarily think about it.""The last one is showcasing  something that you can use for free. But then explaining: 'hey there's these other features that you might like!' And being exploratory with that."

Was uns das Bestellen von Frikandeln über Interface-Design lehren kann; Statt lästerlich über den dümmsten anzunehmenden User (DAU) zu reden, es lieber einfach für alle machen; Die Tücken Pommes mit Mayo auf digitalen Bestellkiosken zu bestellen; Das Design von Software oder warum „Weiter“ und „Abbrechen“ nicht nebeneinander gehören. Wir sind alle „dumm“, wenn unsere Kapazität gerade eingeschränkt ist. Besonders wenn Stress ins Spiel kommt. Egal ob durch Hunger, soziale Situationen, Zeitdruck, Ungewohntes oder weil wir eben noch tausend andere Aufgaben im Kopf jonglieren. Gutes Software Design macht es allen Menschen einfacher.Alex erzählt aus seinem Urlaub. Vor Ort gab es ein digitalen Bestellkiosk bei einer beliebten Imbissbude. Da lief vieles noch nicht rund. Er selber merkte, wo er impulsive Fehler gemacht hätte und diese dann auch bei anderen beobachten konnte.  Der Fehler liegt hier nicht beim User, sondern bei benutzerunfreundlicher Software. Statt despektierlich vom DAU zu sprechen (dem dümmsten anzunehmenden User), sollten wir sehen, wo die Fehler im Design der Software liegen.Chris erzählt vom Konzept des "kognitiven Geizhalses" in der Psychologie, das erklärt, warum einfache und intuitive Designs so wichtig sind. Tutorials vs. Intuitive Nutzung: Chris findet, dass die Zeit, die in die Erstellung von Tutorials investiert wird, besser in die Vereinfachung der Software selbst investiert werden sollte.Vielleicht gibt es keine „schlechten“ oder „dummen“ User, nur schlechtes Design, das nicht auf die Bedürfnisse und den Kontext der Nutzer abgestimmt ist?

Robert Carroll, successful entrepreneur and product leader, tells Tom about his journey as a father and how he's approached different stages of his career based on his personal needs. Robert tells about an early digital video product he built that sold for $300,000 a unit, and then discusses how a technical advantage can evaporate quickly. Tom asks if it's better to be consistently bad in software interfaces than to be uniquely good. Robert talks about how markets define standards like the QWERTY keyboard. Robert tells about creating one company to help people with physical disabilities use computers effectively and another one that helped Fortune 500 companies apply principles of product management to their sales processes. Tom and Robert talk about the psychology of pricing and why companies choose expensive options. Tom asks Robert how he decides between self funding and getting outside investors when he starts a new business. Robert talks about how understanding intent when founding a business is critical for knowing how to fund the business. Robert tells about the founding of his three businesses and how different ideas about what he wanted to achieve affected each. Robert tells how product managers need to understand the capabilities and deficiencies of the technology their products use. Tom and Robert talk about learning styles and teaching strategies, managing technical teams, and being a servant leader. Robert tells about defining clear goals for teams and his resistance to "embracing ambiguity" instead of being clear about objectives. Finally, Robert talks about being in the “fourth quarter” of his career and how he's defining what he wants to do next.

How has the UX field changed over the years? What does the future of UX work look like if scope is wildly expanding? Will we be automated out of a job? What should teams do to ensure they're not misinterpreting data? Kenya Oduor shares her thoughts on these questions and more, offering suggestions for UX professionals wishing to set themselves up for success in a future of coexistence with artificial intelligence systems and automation.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Interfaces as a Scarce Resource, published by johnswentworth on the Lesswrong. Outline: The first three sections (Don Norman's Fridge, Interface Design, and When And Why Is It Hard?) cover what we mean by “interface”, what it looks like for interfaces to be scarce, and the kinds of areas where they tend to be scarce. The next four sections apply these ideas to various topics: Why AR is much more difficult than VR AI alignment from an interface-design perspective Good interfaces as a key bottleneck to creation of markets Cross-department interfaces in organizations Don Norman's Fridge Don Norman (known for popularizing the term “affordance” in The Design of Everyday Things) offers a story about the temperature controls on his old fridge: I used to own an ordinary, two-compartment refrigerator - nothing very fancy about it. The problem was that I couldn't set the temperature properly. There were only two things to do: adjust the temperature of the freezer compartment and adjust the temperature of the fresh food compartment. And there were two controls, one labeled “freezer”, the other “refrigerator”. What's the problem? Oh, perhaps I'd better warn you. The two controls are not independent. The freezer control also affects the fresh food temperature, and the fresh food control also affects the freezer. The natural human model of the refrigerator is: there's two compartments, and we want to control their temperatures independently. Yet the fridge, apparently, does not work like that. Why not? Norman: In fact, there is only one thermostat and only one cooling mechanism. One control adjusts the thermostat setting, the other the relative proportion of cold air sent to each of the two compartments of the refrigerator. It's not hard to imagine why this would be a good design for a cheap fridge: it requires only one cooling mechanism and only one thermostat. Resources are saved by not duplicating components - at the cost of confused customers. The root problem in this scenario is a mismatch between the structure of the machine (one thermostat, adjustable allocation of cooling power) and the structure of what-humans-want (independent temperature control of two compartments). In order to align the behavior of the fridge with the behavior humans want, somebody, at some point, needs to do the work of translating between the two structures. In Norman's fridge example, the translation is botched, and confusion results. We'll call whatever method/tool is used for translating between structures an interface. Creating good methods/tools for translating between structures, then, is interface design. Interface Design In programming, the analogous problem is API design: taking whatever data structures are used by a software tool internally, and figuring out how to present them to external programmers in a useful, intelligible way. If there's a mismatch between the internal structure of the system and the structure of what-users-want, then it's the API designer's job to translate. A “good” API is one which handles the translation well. User interface design is a more general version of the same problem: take whatever structures are used by a tool internally, and figure out how to present them to external users in a useful, intelligible way. Conceptually, the only difference from API design is that we no longer assume our users are programmers interacting with the tool via code. We design the interface to fit however people use it - that could mean handles on doors, or buttons and icons in a mobile app, or the temperature knobs on a fridge. Economically, interface design is a necessary input to make all sorts of things economically useful. How scarce is that input? How much are people willing to spend for good interface design? My impression is: a lot. There's an entire category of tech com...

Wie entstehen nutzerfreundliche Produkte? Was ist gutes Interface Design? Und wie ist die User Experience messbar? In dieser Folge bringen wir Licht in allerlei Buzzwords, schauen auf aktuelle Trends bei Nutzergewohnheiten, stellen digitale Tools für Konzeptentwürfe vor und besprechen, wann Designfragen wichtig werden – und wann nicht. Zu Gast ist David Liebefinke, Head of Product Owners bei Relaxdays, Dozent im Interface Design und Senior Usability Engineer.

Wenn Medizintechnik auf (Interface-) Design trifft...Eigentlich entwickelt und produziert der Potsdamer Unternehmer Christoph Miethke mit seinem Unternehmen Ventile für Patienten, die an der Krankheit Hydracephalus leiden. Vor 6 Jahren jedoch gewann die Christoph Miethke GmbH & Co. KG den Designpreis des Landes Brandenburg für die Entwicklung einer Mobile App, um die Funktionsweise der implementierten Ventile besser darstellen zu können. Auch an anderer Stelle trifft Christoph Miethke auf DesignerInnen: gemeinsam mit seiner Frau, Sabine Opdensteinen, betreibt er das Oranienwerk in Oranienburg, wo Akteure der brandenburgischen Kultur- und Kreativwirtschaft einen Ort finden, um ihre Ideen entfalten zu können. http://www.miethke.com http://www.oranienwerk.com http://www.designpreis-brandenburg.de

Trends sind etwas ambivalentes. Sie stehen einerseits für Schnelllebigkeit und Oberflächliches und sind andererseits wertvoll und einflussreich. Simon ist einem wiederkehrenden Trend im Interface Design aufgesessen und das haben wir zum Anlass genommen, um diese Folge dem Thema Trends zu widmen. Trends beeinflussen die Wirtschaft und auch das Design. Sie kommen, nehmen Einfluss und verschwinden teilweise wieder. In diesem Sinne: viel Spaß mit Globalisierung, Mode und Skeuomorphismus.

Che cos'è la grafica?

Welche Rolle spielt Design im Zusammenhang mit Technologien? Bedingt der Inhalt die Form oder die Form den Inhalt? Interface Design ist doch eigentlich erst durch neue technologische Möglichkeiten entstanden. Gleichzeitig ist zum Beispiel das Smartphone erst durch die convenience in der Bedienung der Oberfläche und Apps durch ein gutes Interface Design richtig und leicht nutzbar. Aber was bedingt was? Und wie kann Design und auch der Bereich des Speculative Designs dafür genutzt werden, um neue und zukünftige (technologische) Realitäten zu denken und zu entwerfen? Technologie ist ein Thema für welches Simon und Sophia beide brennen - obwohl es da auch Unterschiede bzgl. der Technologie-Lieben gibt. Sophia ist Team VR und AR, Simon eher nicht so. Zum Ende der Folge wird es nochmal wild: Stichwort Reisende-Einzelbox und Luftzirkulation. Viel Spaß!

Worin liegt der Unterschied zwischen Werkzeug und Spielzeug? Jannis Riethmüller und Martin Lexow debattieren über Funktionalität im Interface Design und den Gebrauch von Ornamentik.

Design Systeme sind ja schon länger der "neueste Scheiß". Design Systeme machen unkreativ, Design System ist nur ein besserer Begriff für Styleguide, Design Systeme machen die Arbeit von UI Designern überflüssig, ... Zeit mit ein paar Vorurteilen aufzuräumen.

MIT ID Innovation Programme invites you to MIT ID's first-ever week-long Virtual Grad Show, which will showcase Innovation projects by students of the Foundation Batch, while they hand over the baton of Innovation to Class of 2020.    One of the industry-interactions in the Grad Show, provides a glimpse into our collaboration with Mr. Rasagy Sharma, Principal Designer, Gramener    In this short 2 hour workshop, we'll explore why data needs to be narrated as stories, look at some case studies by Gramener & learn the process of going from data analysis to narrating a story. We'll learn how design thinking's user-centricity & encoding principles based on visual perception enable us to visualize insights that are useful & engaging.    The workshop will be beginner-friendly, aimed at designers who need to visualize data or anyone who needs to communicate insights. No prior knowledge of data analysis/data science is needed for the workshop. This will be open for all.    Our Guest Speaker & Innovator : Rasagy is the Principal Information Designer at Gramener, with a focus on narrating business insights through storytelling. His areas of interest include Information Visualization, Data Art, Creative Coding & Sketch noting.

UX Writing, also der Text im Interface von digitalen Produkten, wird in der Design-Community hoch gehandelt: Schließlich bestimmt es die verbale Kommunikation mit dem Nutzer. Doch ist UX Writing wirklich das Next Big Thing? Ist es wirklich so schwer, die richtigen Worte für meine App zu finden? Und: Brauche ich einen eigenen UX Writer?

Zu hören sind in dieser ersten Episode die beiden Gründer und Managing Directors von COBE, Daniel Wagner und Felix van de Sand, die davon berichten, wie sie mit ihrem ersten Firmenwagen Kunden vergrault haben, warum sie nicht an 5-Jahrespläne glauben und was der Jackenständer im COBE Castle über die Wertewelt der COBEes aussagt.

In this week's episode, we riff on a listener question about the influence of the physical world on digital interfaces, and we end up covering everything from video game controllers to sliders and shiny buttons. And as always, we share a couple cool things like a fun dramedy and another sci-fi novel.

Introduction Today I have Saptarshi Prakash with us on Audiogyan. He is a Designer | Traveller | Speaker | Teacher | Engineer | Manager.  Questions Can we start by just listing few cool, subtle yet noticeable occurrences of motion design used in interfaces? Also if you can list some analog world instances which have inspired online world? This could be either your work or generic like the Breathe app of Apple Watch. This will help set the context.  What is the importance of Physics in making motion for interface. To my knowledge, angry birds is one such game which illustrates importance of physics. Similarly is there any app or digital product which uses Motion effectively? What all elements have been used for motion? For eg: accelerometer sensor and what all is not used so far or can be used effectively.  Motion has been long used in Games. In fact game’s progress and genre is defined by it’s speed and movement. Is motion used in interface design fundamentally different? Can you share any insights about what is so different about motion used in games as opposed to UI. Also if you can give us some examples of how different speed settings evoke different actions and so on… I am afraid you have to use well known examples due to the audio medium :)  What all things are achieved through motion - for eg: Delight, Feedback etc... Why is motion becoming so critical in today’s time? If you can share any particular case study from Swiggy which has improved business or user experience?  I have done a lot of interviews with animators and the insight which I got it, movement is sign of life. What are your thoughts around it?  

Merlin Baum beschäftigt sich in seinen Arbeiten mit „Interfaces“, also der Schnittstelle, die Kommunikation zwischen zwei Objekten ermöglicht. Seine schöpferische Kraft zieht er aus dem Chaos seines Ateliers Werkstatt Werkstatt und aus dem Austausch mit den Künstlern, mit denen er das Atelier teilt. Mit Merlin sprechen wir über Inspiration, Kreativität und Experimental Interface Design im Spannungsfeld von Design, Kunst und Forschung.

As the world's population changes, how does product design and interface design change with it? And why is the 4th industrial revolution happening NOW - what's come together to make IoT possible? Industry veteran Tim Sweet joins us for a conversation about human-machine interfaces (HMI), usability, and human factors - scoping the discussion within IoT and the products that are pushing this 4th industrial revolution forward.

Liebe Freunde, diesmal machen wir eine ganz altes, ranziges Fass auf. Denn wir machen einen „PC versus Konsole“-Podcast. Dabei wollen wir allerdings weniger darüber streiten, welche Plattform die bessere ist, sondern vielmehr darüber sprechen, warum dieses Thema so gerne diskutiert wird und warum PC-Enthusiasten teils extrem leidenschaftlich für ihre Plattform werben. Wir betrachten dabei ihre Argumente, wir sprechen über den Begriff der „PC Master Race“ und darüber, wie sich PC und Konsole eindeutig unterscheiden – aber was bedeutet das am Ende? Wir hoffen, diesem gut abgehangenen Thema noch ein paar neue Gedanken oder ungewöhnliche Ansichten abzuringen. Und zuletzt noch einmal der Hinweis: Wir finden beide Plattformen gut und werden in der Sendung lange nicht alle Aspekte und Argumente, die das Thema hergibt, ansprechen. Erst recht werden wir keinen „Gewinner“ küren und ebenso wenig ist es unsere Absicht, die Begeisterung von Fans von Konsole oder PC infrage zu stellen. Viel Spaß bei dieser Sendung!

My guest today is John Underkoffler. As an early member of the MIT Media Lab, John was approached by Steven Spielberg and legendary world-builder Alex McDowell to help design the interface of the future for the film Minority Report.   The system John and the team designed became legendary for its vision and conceptual innovation. He’s gone on to help design many sci-fi computer interfaces including Iron Man’s JARVIS.   Building on these fictional computer interfaces, John has founded the company Oblong where he is bringing these collaborative, gestural, and tactile computer interfaces to life — enabling digital objects and data to live in the environment instead of the device.   We discuss John’s visionary science fiction design, his real-world incarnation of these interfaces, and go deep into many aspects of human-computer interaction.   More at: https://www.MindAndMachine.io

If you haven't already figured, I am all in on the importance of user experience and interface design in enterprise software. If you’re creating enterprise software, you’re going to need a proper user experience and interface design. Traditional design firms are good for some things, but their traditional approach design isn't right for enterprise software. New age digital firms, those that have grown up focused on creating software products and user experience, are better equipped to design enterprise software systems. Tyson Damman, who has to be one of the tallest digital creative directors in the world, stops by to talk about Traditional versus New Age digital agencies, the costs of enterprise software design, and why it’s better to focus on features and functionality before applying visual design to your software.

Ian R Buck makes an audio adaptation of his senior seminar paper from 2015.

Innovation is intensifying off the browser - the things we use everyday are increasingly controlled by touch, gesture and voice. And we, as interaction designers, are faced with a challenge that’s the opposite of our browser-​​​​based one-​​​​man-​​​​shop: there’s suddenly a gulf of production between our concept and the final product; the means of production is as tricky to navigate as a roster of Tolstoy characters; mistakes are expensive; and everyone speaks a different language. Sound dangerous? Sound exciting? Donovan argues the processes for the future lie in our more material-​​​​based graphic designer pasts, and our cousin disciplines of industrial design and architecture. After a decade of honing our newfangled browser-​​​​based skills, learn how to dust off and sharpen the tools of our roots. Hannah Donovan is a Canadian interaction designer living in London. She led design at Last​.fm for five years, and before that worked agency-​​​​side designing digital campaigns. Since leaving Last​.fm this spring, Hannah’s become an independent product designer focused on ways to make music better on the web. When she’s not busy with new work, Hannah contributes to spacelog​.org and plays cello with a real orchestra as well as a comedy orchestra.

The hardest part about user experience design is not the design work itself, but getting the organisation and the technologists to implement your vision. Matt presents a method and toolset to help you affect a structured decision making process between business, technology and user motivations, ensuring your designs are implemented.

HTML5 and CSS3 are the newest stars of the web: the cornerstones of progressive enhancement, the future of online video, the easiest way to build web applications for desktop and mobile devices, and a brilliant foundation upon which we can add complex interaction and animation layers with javascript and Canvas; happily - thanks to much-improved browser support - we can now use them. In this session, Dan Rubin will show you who’s already taking advantage of these latest additions to our toolbox, what this means for interface designers, and how you can bring the same techniques to your projects. An accomplished designer, author and speaker, Dan Rubin has over ten years of experience as a leader in the fields of user interface design and web standards, specifically focusing on the use of HTML and CSS to streamline development and improve accessibility. His passion for all things creative and artistic isn’t a solely selfish endeavor either-you’ll frequently find him waxing educational about a cappella jazz and barbershop harmony, philosophy, web standards, typography, psychology, and design in general. In addition to his contributions to sites including Blogger, the CSS Zen Garden, Yahoo! Small Business and Microsoft’s ASP.net portal, Dan is a contributing author of Cascading Style Sheets: Separating Content from Presentation (2nd Edition, friends of ED, 2003), technical reviewer for Beginning CSS Web Development (Apress, 2006), The Art & Science of CSS (SitePoint, 2007) and Sexy Web Design (SitePoint, 2009), coauthor of Pro CSS Techniques (Apress, 2006), and Web Standards Creativity (friends of ED, 2007), writes about web standards, design and life in general on his personal site, Superfluous Banter, and spends his professional time on a variety of online and offline projects for Sidebar Creative, Webgraph and Black Seagull, consulting on design, user interaction and online publishing for Garcia Media, and speaking and teaching at events, conferences and workshops (including An Event Apart, @media, SXSW Interactive, Future of Web Design, Web Directions, and various Refresh and AIGA events) around the world.

When I first picked up Matthew Frederick's book: "101 Things I Learned in Architecture School" I was struck by the number of principles of architecture that can be directly applied to interaction design, but also disillusioned by the fact that Interaction Designers generally do not have a similar body of knowledge to draw on. Sure we have lots of "process", but relatively little "wisdom" of the sort found in this book. The field of Interaction Design isn't very old - If we're talking purely software interface design, then let's say about 25 years old. No surprise, then, that we borrow heavily (and unashamedly) from a range of other, more established, disciplines. We try to compensate for our relative lack of a history, tradition or body of knowledge by leveraging others'. That's entirely appropriate - but how far does it get us? Interaction Design is an essential component of the delivery of virtually any product or service today. Many of us may already be at the point where we interact with more digital products in a day than we do physical products, and many of the most important transactions in our lives are entirely virtual. Maybe Interaction Design needs to be taken a bit more seriously? In this talk I'd like to reflect on my almost 20 years as an interaction designer - the things I've learned along the way, and the things I wish I would have learned at Interaction Design School, if such a thing had existed back then. Along the way we'll review some of the 101 things we all should have learned in Interaction Design School, sourced from ixd101.com (the blog I share with Matt Morphett), and beyond.

If you work on the web, it was hard to miss the announcement of Google Wave in May. It was especially exciting because this project, designed to leapfrog current modes of online communication, was developed right here in Australia by a Sydney based team. Wave’s interface designer - Web Directions favourite, Cameron Adams - will give us some unique insights into the challenges of bringing such an innovative product to fruition, the problems you face in designing a desktop application in the browser, and how to nurture a startup culture inside a large company. Cameron has given some truly memorable presentations at previous Web Directions - this keynote drawing from his experiences as part of the Google Wave team will be no exception. Cameron Adams - The Man in Blue, and interface designer at Google Wave - melds a background in Computer Science with over nine years experience in graphic design to create a unique approach to interface design. Using the latest technologies, he likes to play in the intersection between design and code to produce innovative but usable sites and applications. In addition to the projects he’s currently tinkering with, Cameron writes about the Internet and design in general on his well respected blog, and has written several books ranging in topics from JavaScript, to CSS, and design. His latest publication "Simply JavaScript" takes a bottom-up, quirky-down approach to the basics of JavaScript coding.

User interface design is an iterative process - the design of Digg and Pownce have been a study in evolution and adaptation. This talk will inspect the why and how of these iterations by looking at specific case studies from the two projects as well as previous client work Daniel has tackled. The case studies will examine specific user interface challenges that have arisen and will chop them up into their various bits. How do I identify a challenge? What is the best approach for getting started? How do I solve the problem conceptually and technically? How will I know if I solved the challenge successfully? Case studies have been selected that are especially pertinent outside of their specific contexts to help you in your everyday UI design. The presentation will focus on design inspiration, decision-making processes, technical solutions, and learning from missteps as part of a designer’s iterative process. Daniel is the creative director at Digg, a founder of Pownce, and a founder of the Canadian web firm silverorange. At silverorange, Daniel worked with a wide range of clients including Mozilla, Ning, Revision3, and Sloan. He’s since been lured to San Francisco after Kevin Rose dangled the prospect of In ‘N Out burgers and the opportunity to develop the user experience for the social news website Digg. As Digg’s creative director, Daniel has helped the site grow from a niche technology news site into one of the leading media services on the web with a massive and passionate community. Recently, along with Leah Culver and Kevin, Daniel helped found Pownce - a social network that lets you share files, events, messages, and links with your friends. Daniel works on feature development and the user interface of Pownce. Licensed as Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/).

The hype around Web 2.0 continues to increase to the point of absurdity. We hear all about a rich web of data, but what can we learn from these trends to actually apply to our designs? You’ll take a tour through the past, present, and future of the web to answer these questions and more: - What can we learn from the rich history of data visualization to inform our designs today? - How can we do amazing work while battle the constant constraints we find ourselves up against? - How do we really incorporate users into our practice of user experience?

We’re at an exciting time in the development of web-based interfaces - along with a maturing front-end toolkit (CSS & JavaScript), there are so many technologies, trends and exciting ideas emerging that are enabling us to push the boundaries of interface design. Author, designer and code cowboy Cameron Adams will explore some of these areas and how they will apply to our development of online interfaces, including: the possibilities of front-end customisation, application interfaces, browser-native vector graphics, and the general duty of all web developers to make things interesting. Cameron Adams (The Man in Blue) melds a background in Computer Science with over eight years experience in graphic design to create a unique approach to interface design. Using the latest technologies, he likes to play in the intersection between design and code to produce innovative but usable sites and applications.

Ajax brought about a host of new possibilities in online interfaces, but where are we going next? Cameron Adams will look at the evolution of dynamic interfaces; interfaces that truly meet the needs of all their users. Through the careful use of Web Standards, client-side scripting, and server-side intelligence, it’s possible to create interfaces that shape, adapt to, and predict a user’s needs. Cameron will also be examining how the emergence of browser-based technologies such as Canvas and SVG will change the way we think about interaction on the Web.
