Technology: Interaction & Design" - How do we as humans interact with the increasingly complex technologies that surround us, and how might we make interaction easier through design?
A one day seminar to be held on 22 June 2005, Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Wilberforce Road, Cambridge. Technology: Interaction and Design is part of the third series of Horizon seminars.
The day will include academic speakers from diverse departments including the Computer Laboratory, Engineering Design Centre and Social Sciences to examine questions of technology design, function, innovation and use. Professor John Clarkson, Director of the Engineering Design Centre, will open the day with a talk on the compelling business case for inclusive design. Max Bielenberg, Design Council will then talk about their initiative to bridge the gap between research and commercialization using innovative design practice.
The day will also be a showcase for the work of the interdisciplinary network Crucible, headed up by Dr Alan Blackwell (Computer Laboratory) and Dr David Good (Social & Developmental Psychology), which uses design as a catalyst to promote collaboration between technologists and researchers from the Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences in novel research collaborations.
We are also very pleased to welcome Tony Temple, Head of Ease of Use, IBM; Nicola Millard, BT and Ian Hoskins, Scientific Generics, who will give an industry perspective on user-centric design, interactive technology and applications.
