Expecting surprises: A User Research Case Study (Hong Kong)

Expecting surprises: A User Research Case Study (Hong Kong) - 22 May 2008

Conducting user research programs is much more of an art than a science. Even a very small sample size could easily demand serious planning and vigilance in execution, however, the knowledge and insights it brings also goes way beyond what one can get from data based studies such as a survey.

This presentation will take us through a project case study for predesign work targeted at collectors.

See UPA Hong Kong for more information.

Mobile Usability in the US: Widgets & Search

On 13 Sept 2007, we enjoyed a vibrant talk on Mobile Usability by Scott Weiss, President of Usable Products Company.

Scott showed us some new design and interaction directions on the mobile phone including widgets and some clips from mobile usability tests he had conducted. There was agreement that the mobile landscape is changing quickly with new models being released, the integration with internet services and what this means for usability and UI design.

This was one of the first co-organised events between the Interaction Design Association Hong Kong and the Usability Professionals Association Hong Kong.

See http://www.usability.com.hk/event_september2007.htm for more information about the event.
