IxDA NYC is proud to launch our Design Studio Series. The first session of the series will be an intensive design session held in a studio setting. We supply a real-world design problem, a studio, and the design mentors; you bring the design chops! If you feel like you’re dealing with the same design problems day-to-day, come meet a new challenge! In the first session of our Design Studio series, we will pose a design problem for you to tackle in small groups. Our mentors will be available to talk shop, provide guidance, and help you get unstuck. Space is limited.

In this talk, Dan will discuss his work with Google “mashups,” the new technology that integrates data with Google maps, making the data (and the map) more meaningful for users.

As we venture beyond Web 2.0, how do we reconcile the timeless principles of design and organization with new transmedia models of interaction, co-creation, tagging, and user participation? In this advanced seminar, Peter Morville — widely regarded as a father of information architecture — draws upon stories, examples, case studies, and discussions to explore the future present of information architecture and user experience.

In usability testing, we strive to eliminate bias so that the results will be accurate. But what is bias anyway? How does it affect our results? What can we do about it? And are we, as usability specialists,truly objective? Usability consultant Carolyn Snyder will lead a stimulating discussion about bias in usability testing - something we encounter on a daily basis but may not consciously think about.

(NYC UPA) Seeing what people do and hearing what they say is the heart of usability research. But what’s the brain doing? Nielsen Norman Group used eye-tracking technology to watch hundreds of people’s eyes as they used the Web, doing a plethora of different tasks and using different websites. Seeing exactly what the user is looking at – and not looking at – is like getting to sneak into his brain for a little while. Kara Pernice Coyne will discuss how she conducted this research and present some of the findings from it. She is the co-author with Jacob Nielsen of the upcoming book, Eyetracking Web Usability. NYC-UPA members: $10, Non-members: $20.
