Seminar Invitation -
Integrated Communications Technologies: User-Centred Design Challenges
16th June 2004, London
Reserve places by 11th June
Communications technologies such as instant messaging, e-mail, and photo-,
text- and video-messaging, are now being integrated in single-unit devices.
This process, known as 'convergence', means that people can interact and
keep in touch in new ways. However, with it come new challenges for
user-centred design.
This half-day seminar, which will be of value to usability professionals,
software designers and telecommunications designers, addresses these
challenges through discussion of 'InTouch', an integrated communications
tool we have developed to support distributed social networks. We will also
integrate participants' own experiences of applying user-centred design
approaches to integrated communications technologies.
Participants are invited to continue discussions and develop their own
network over a buffet lunch afterwards.
Fee: £125.00 to include seminar pack, refreshments and lunch.
Day and time:
Wednesday 16th June 2004

The research presented is part of InTouch, a collaborative project involving
the Interact Lab at the University of Sussex, BT/Chimera and Victoria Real.
Funded by the UK's ESRC, EPSRC and DTI PACCIT initiative, the project has
researched, designed and analysed online services that make use of broadband
technology in the home to support personal social networks.
