Mobile prototyping essentials
We’ve heard it all before…prototype, prototype, prototype! It’s a standard step in almost any design process – but often the first step skipped in time and budget constrained projects. Although prototyping is considered a luxury for many PC-based experiences, it is an absolutely essential part of creating compelling tablet and mobile experiences.
This workshop will outline why prototyping is an essential part of the emerging world of tablet and mobile experience design. You’ll learn the underlying design principles and design conventions of Natural User Interfaces (NUIs), animated transitions and the interaction design language that is emerging as touchscreen devices become commonplace. You’ll also learn how and why to cultivate the two most important skills necessary for creating compelling tablet and mobile experiences: a curiosity for context and ruthless editing.
Finally, you’ll learn a wide variety of hands-on prototyping methods that can be applied to your design process. You’ll receive tactical, hands-on instruction for how to storyboard concepts and screens, sketch transitions, and turn your ideas into high-fidelity on-device prototypes with speed and confidence.

A market of the senses: Digital devices in physical spaces
by Bob Burns
What is the future of shopping? Will consumers research, browse and purchase as they go about their daily routines? Just as we have seen GPS allow us to navigate in real time, smartphones are allowing consumers to gather information and make purchasing decisions with the same ease. But how well do these devices and virtual experiences work with our current retail landscape and how can digital user experiences begin to influence these environments? Based on research done with consumer using smartphones in Best Buy stores we can begin to explore the impact of these devices not only on how we shop but on how these spaces may begin to change to accommodate consumer behavior.
