IDEO Co-Founder Bill Moggridge: "Design and Intuition"

Speaker: Bill Moggridge

Time: 1:30p-3:00p

Location: E15, Bartos Theatre, Lower Level

Interactive technology is everywhere, seeping into every crack and cranny of our lives. It's not just the mouse that we use for pointing and clicking, plus the desktop and windows on our screens? It's the TV we watch, the iPods that help us enjoy music, video games, digital cameras, phone services, Palmtops, search engines like Google, and on and on. That's why Moggridge wrote Designing Interactions, interviewing forty influential designers who have created this new technology. He shows that there are interaction designers behind the technologies of our time, and that our interaction with them has been carefully studied and designed.
