, Google , Autodesk , SAP, Oracle among others.

DAY 1:

The CHI 2008, has opened a interesting reflection on the evolution of design by MCAR-McWilliam Irene, the Glasgow School of Art, UK.

then erupts with what they call madness CHI Madness, summarized in 30 seconds for each speaker, where we see real showmen . I recommend implementing this practice to all conferences, you can:

1) Meet the speaker, he talks, very important!
2) Resolving doubts about some titles of the papers

think that every day there are 4 hours and 5 sessions per hour. :)

Antonio Rodriguez, my sidekick, wrongly selected as the first session "Do not interrupt me," university 4 speakers, we illuminate with statistical numbers and abstract conclusions of frustration and stress that cause disruptions at work.

I see that many universities are conducting studies, no aim other than wander through parallel worlds to the professional world.

Before going to try the culinary delights Fiorentina entertain us with one of the shows at the event.

Watch video:





After a good cappuccino, began the afternoon with a plenary "Design, Marketing, Strategy? Where does user reserc belong? ". Where members
teams Google (Irene AU) Yahoo (Klaus Kasasgaard) Ebay (Christian Rohrer, Elissa Darnell), Carnegie Mellon University (Shelley Evenson) debate on the relationship between developers and interaction designers.

Interesting to see how each company defended its ideals of better company UX.

session we had to stop twice. We started with "International user research in Product Development cycle " , which ultimately only the people have submitted Oracle, as the representative of IBM did not attend.

Here's a summary of images, as you can see, large companies such as Oracle, do not do things big in international projects:


And then we come to one of the shows at the CHI 2008 conference, "Touch and target selection, watch video, words are unnecessary. (Próximamente. ..)

The idea is to have parameterized all the components of a video to view it, and then move them at will.

comes a time to pick up pens and other items at the gala presentation of the exhibitors. They are all amazing!, TechSmith Morae, Tobii, UserZoom, Noldus, Goolge products, Oracle, Microsoft, would never end ...:)

continued ... with very interesting topics like the new interface for Windows Mobile
