MAGICAL UX AND THE INTERNET OF THINGS
Josh Clark
"What if this thing was magic?" The web is touching everyday objects now, and designing for the internet of things means blessing everyday objects, places, even people with extraordinary abilities—requiring designers, too, to break with the ordinary.
Designing for this new medium is less a challenge of technology than imagination. Sharing a rich trove of examples, designer and author Josh Clark explores the new experiences that are possible when ANYTHING can be an interface.
The digital manipulation of physical objects (and vice versa) effectively turns all of us into wizards. Sling content between devices, bring objects to life from a distance, weave "spells" by combining speech and gesture.
But magic doesn't have to be otherworldly; the UX of connected devices should build on the natural physical interactions we have everyday with the world around us.

Orchestrating Experiences
Chris Risdon
Our design challenges are becoming more and more complex. Services are more interconnected across channels both digital and physical‹and more importantly across time and space. So how do we maintain a user-centered focus when faced with complicated design problems? Where do we even start?
Whether it's an expanding digital product ecosystem, a cross-channel retail experience, or a complex, intangible service experience‹how do we design experiences that unfold over time and through changing contexts? How do we ramp up new cross-functional teams that don't have a shared sense of process or method? In this talk, Chris Risdon shows us how to make sense of all the moving parts of this increasingly complex system. Discover how to unite customer experience, service design, and user experienceteams for a holistic approach.

Connected UX
Aaron Walter
Though design research has become common practice at product companies, it often produces insights that slip into the hazy distance as documents get lost on a hard drive, or ignored by someone in a different department. Worse still, efforts get duplicated when communication breaks down.
UX teams have design research down to a science, but few have discovered a way to connect qualitative and quantitative data, and long histories of research into a central clearinghouse that can be shared, searched, and maintained by different teams. Open access to information strengthens the connections between teams, and supports a general culture of inquiry. In this talk, Aarron will share with you practical methods to get off the research treadmill and get started building connections between data and teams.
