From Ideation to Innovation:
The Role of Design Research in Crafting Great User Experiences
Whether we think of ourselves as researchers, designers, architects, or engineers, we all contribute to the discipline of human-computer interaction. By working to understand people's needs and habits, we seek to inspire new product experiences. But although we may practice our craft daily, we are frequently challenged to articulate the process we use to transform design research into meaningful experiences our customers will embrace.
The 2008 CHIFOO Program Series provides a year-long investigation into this topic, examining how we deliver innovative products and services based on design research and ideation. What is design research and how is it conducted? How do the results of design research feed creativity and innovation? Join us as we invite celebrated researchers and practitioners to share their perspectives on this topic through a series of 10 evening programs and four hands-on workshops.
