Interaction designer Dan Saffer will cover the four approaches to interaction design; design research techniques; traditional documentation and new ways of documenting applications; designing for multitasking, adaptation, and hackability; service design; and the future of interaction design.
Who's this workshop for?
Designing for Interaction is for new designers and anyone interested in interaction design, as well as more experienced designers who want a deeper view of and new methods for practicing interaction design.
