The Eyes Have It (NUCHI Meeting - Thurs, June 26)

NUCHI will be holding a demo and discussion of the TOBII eye tracking system. Eye tracking systems are used in larger usability studies. This is a rare opportunity!

Here is the info from NUCHI:

What is NUCHI?
The Northern Utah chapter of the Association of Computing Machinery’s (ACM) Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI). *Yes, it’s a mouthful!*

Time & Location
7:00pm Thursday, June 26, 2008 at NextPage, 13997 S. Minuteman Drive, Draper. (map)

Topic
See a demonstration of a TOBII eye tracking system used in software usability analysis. Join in a discussion of what this technology can find that other methods can’t.

Also, see a new application of the Microsoft Ribbon technology and how it is being applied to navigate complex clinical software. This software is being developed with Microsoft Expressions Blend and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). This process is intended to let designers build the software interface and interaction and pass it directly to developers.

Carl Bechtold is an Intermountain Healthcare Human Factors Engineer on loan to the GE/Intermountain partnership. That partnership is developing an Enterprise Clinical Information System (ECIS) for Intermountain and commercial deployment through GE Healhtcare.

IxDA Utah Chapter

The Interaction Designers in Utah (IxDA) chapter was just recently started. For information and to join, visit their website:

http://ixdautah.collectivex.com/main/summary

“The IxDA is all about bringing interaction designers together. The life a designer is a busy one and we may not all be able to meet face to face as often as we’d like. This group site will help local IxDA members communicate, share ideas, inspire each other and hopefully help facilitate friendships around our passion for great design.”

web assumptions

I was listening to a podcast by Phil McKinney and he frequently counsels listeners to question what you assume about services or products to provide insight for innovation opportunities. So, I compiled a list of what I (and some friends) assume about the web. There are some great sites which break these assumptions in a great way; and, there are some sites that unfortunately suffer from breaking these assumptions.

What else do we assume about the web?

Maybe some of the assumptions will spark some ideas for your projects.

I look forward to seeing your responses.

a family website

It’s always fun to relax a little and do something like this family website. Designed as a place where the client’s relatives and friends could come to read news, browse photographs, and stay up-to-date with their active growing family. The requirements included a custom design with a natural, warm, inviting color pallet, an automated blogging system, and the ability to easily post photos and video clips.
