Arnie will provide a case study of the user experience program within the mobile computing division at Microsoft. To set the context, he will review trends in ubiquitous computing and talk about the implications for design in the future, including a model of what makes a successful user experience that is shaping the response to the trends. He will discuss how the user experience team is characterizing their users, and then using that characterization to drive user-centered design requirements.
Arnie will also share some of the latest design activities that are underway for the newest version of Windows that is expected in 2006, as well as possibilities for future activities. He will present some of the methods and approaches that are being developed and implemented to increase the impact of the design work, and approaches to integrating user-centered design into the product development process.
