Joy Mountford Interval ResearchInterface: where should industry and academia meet?
October 7, 1994
With a special appearance by Ramon Felciano (felciano@camis.stanford.edu)
of the Stanford 'Just Kidding' 1994 Apple Design Competition
project team, with their prize-winning project presentation
This talk will illustrate and discuss the various lessons
about the process of designing successful user interfaces. The
success of involving educational establishments with industrial
partners will be shown through the last three years of the Apple
Interface Design Project. We will hear the successes and limitations
of this project from student, professor, and industrial liaison
alike.
The talk will raise and discuss the following issues:
- What is interaction design?
- Who are quality designers?
- How can we establish apprenticeship programs?
- How broad should interaction designers knowledge base actually
be?
- How should we teach/train HCI?
This talk will take the form of an interactive multi-media
presentation showing a series of interaction prototypes.
