Unter dem Motto Embracing Cultural Diversity – User Experience Design for the World findet die jährliche Fachtagung der Usability Professionals' Association zum ersten Mal außerhalb der Vereinigten Staaten statt: Vom 24. bis zum 28. Mai gibt es in München ein vielfältiges Angebot an Vorträgen, Workshops und Tutorials quer durch alle Teilgebiete der nutzerzentrierten Gestaltung.

ERGOSIGN partizipiert an der Konferenz in Form von zwei Präsentationen:

A Best Practice Approach to the Design of Natural User Interfaces

von Prof. Dr. Dieter Wallach und Martin Radvak
Usability Fundamentals Track, Donnerstag, 27. Mai um 13:30 Uhr

Natural user interfaces, especially multi-touch systems, are becoming increasingly established in productive scenarios in which "classical" GUIs turn out to be less appropriate. This presentation describes guiding solutions for the arising conceptual and user-centred design challenges focussing on the platform and posture of tabletop-based systems like Microsoft Surface.

Establishing Cross-Cultural Collaboration in the Field of User Centered Design

von Dr. Marcus Plach, Sebastian C. Scholz, Aurobinda Pradhan und Jayaram Srinivasan
Experienced Practitioners Track, Donnerstag, 27. Mai um 16:15 Uhr

A process of establishing collaboration between a German and an Indian UCD service provider is presented, built on principles of modern communication theory: By following five phases gradually common ground was reached, allowing both partners to control the growth of trust and mutual understanding – eventually to deliver successful cross-cultural UCD projects.

Wir würden uns freuen, Sie auf der UPA2010 in München zu treffen!
