We are entering an era when a coherent approach to the design of new media,
information appliances, and the systems they are embedded within, will
become a paramount concern to the broadcasting, entertainment, computing and
telecommunications industries, among others. To maximise the value of
appliances, products from many vendors will need to work together
harmoniously in the hands of the individual user in new and unexpected ways,
requiring cross-industry collaboration to discover and realize that value. A
rich stream of advances in fundamental technology will open up new
categories of products, and as many of the existing technologies become
commoditized, so business opportunities will emerge from multidisciplinary
innovation in usage, business models, services and brand. As a consequence,
a new discipline of appliance design is required to blend all the
perspectives of physical, functional, interactive, graphical, and
information design.
The First International Conference on Appliance Design (1AD), is the first
international forum for the discussion of the new design discipline that
will reach across historical and discipline boundaries. The aim of 1AD is to
encourage a dialogue between disciplines including product and industrial
design, information design, interaction design, technology innovation and
research in human-centered studies which will help those traditional
disciplines re-establish themselves in the new context, and so drive forward
the an industry where users will increasingly assert their demand for
products that fit into their daily lifestyles.
PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Contributions Deadline 15 January 2003
Researchers, designers and strategists in appliance design and contributing
design, marketing and technology disciplines are encouraged to submit
contributions to 1AD. We recognise that contributions from designers may
take the form of concept designs, prototypes or works-in-progress, and that
contributions from academic researchers may take the form of working systems
or more traditional research papers. Contributions of all types will be
subject to international independent peer-review, and the final programme
will assembled to feature the most outstanding international submissions.
Contributions will be published in a variety of forms: by Springer-Verlag in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series, in the international journal
Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, and in a special issue of Appliance
Design, which will also form the complete conference proceedings.
WOSKHOPS
Day three of the conference will feature two workshops in Appliance Design
Appliance Design: foundations. Simon Lewis, Appliance Studio Ltd. A workshop
on the appliance design philosophy.
Design for Everyday Life. Bill Gaver, RCA. Methods and approaches drawn from
design and the arts provide a valuable alternative to more traditional
scientific and engineering approaches as resources for designers
conceptualising new products and services. This workshop is focused on
techniques we use to engage in a subjective dialogue with people about their
lives, hopes, and fears, and visualise design ideas in evocative ways that
spur the imagination. In particular, we will focus on crafting the
sociocultural effects of systems, rather than details of the underlying
technology or usability.
