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.

Multi-device, multi-role, multi-what? Defining experiences just got a lot more complex
by Alex Young
Designing experiences for web for the "desktop" environment is something many of us have been doing for a while. Toss in "mobile", sprinkle that with some social integration, a native app or two and things suddenly start getting a bit more interesting. How do you approach this always moving target of multi-device, multi-context & often multi-role?

Understanding how people experience service: A design research case study about airport security

Children of the revolution
by Gerry Gaffney and James Hunter
Sometimes it seems that kids today are born with an innate understanding of technologies their parents had to learn.
In this presentation, James & Gerry will describe how school children in NSW interact with computers and the Internet. Based primarily on interviews and observational sessions with approximately 100 children in primary and high schools, they will tell a story (that may be surprising to many) of traps and pitfalls and poor design that makes mastery an unnecessarily difficult challenge.

“Switching on my ears” a case study: Designing a hand held device for bionic implant recipients
by Matt Morphett, Shane Morris and Rami Banner
While designing a simpler hand-held device for controlling a recipient’s bionic hearing, the presenters navigated many design challenges. Working with industrial designers, firmware designers and electrical engineers, they learned as much about designing compact devices as they did about innovation in large organisations. Hear about the ethnographic research approach. See actual concept sketches and wireframes. Learn how we did it.

Personality, discursion and disruption
by Jon Kolko
The discipline of design is reaching a point of clarity. This is a point in time where our value is no longer questioned and we begin to share a common understanding of our role, responsibility, methods and processes. This point of clarity is one of maturity, and with this maturity comes the opportunity to tackle more complicated, nuanced, and intellectual disciplinary challenges. I view this as a chance to move beyond both normal practices of usability and the constant drive towards innovation, and an opportunity to bring personality and attitude to the artifacts we introduce into the world. In this talk, I’ll explore this chance for discursion, and describe a new form of authorship: one that builds upon, rather than rejects, our rich history of thoughtful and responsible design.
