Are you compelled by the rapid development of mobile devices and their graphically sophisticated screens?

Have you noticed the increasing employment of visual motion in screen-based interfaces?

Are you interested in the possibilities and challenges for designing such interfaces?

Jørn Knutsen and Jon Olav Eikenes will arrange a full day workshop at the NORDES conference Engaging Artifacts in Oslo, August 30 – September 1, 2009. The participants will be introduced to theoretical concepts and design techniques for prototyping screen-based interfaces that make use of visual movement. Participants will work hands-on in groups, exploring techniques for developing simple prototypes. The workshop ends with a general discussion in which we address theoretical as well as practical issues.

70 personer deltok på RECORD-fagseminaret “Personlig eller populær: Hvordan utforme sosiale medier” den 5. juni. Foredragsholdere var bl.a. Matt Jones (dopplr), Rune Røsten (VG Nettby) og Marika Lüders (SINTEF IKT).

Vi legger ut presentasjoner fra foredragsholderne fortløpende, etterhvert som vi får dem oversendt.

Together with 12 participants from the Living Lab, we conducted four hour workshop here at AHO. We perfomed different listing and mapping exercises, and idea-generation around the theme of sharing and experiencing music-related content. The outcome was a very rich material for further investigation and fuel for the continuing design process.

We started off with presentations from Arve Hjelseth and Hans Hognestad. They have both done research on football supporters, and gave us very interesting thoughts on the Norwegian football culture. Petter Bae Brandtzæg (SINTEF) presented some results from his research on online communities. After a delightful lunch we generated lots of ideas and concepts for football services.
