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, and using this understanding to inspire new product experiences.

But how does this process take place? How do we transform the results of our design research into something customers will embrace? The 2008 CHIFOO Program Series seeks to better understand this question through a year-long investigation into the process of delivering meaningful products and services based on design research, ideation, and innovation.

Join us as we invite celebrated researchers and practitioners from the Pacific Northwest and beyond to share their perspectives on this fascinating theme, through a series of 10 evening programs and four hands-on workshops.
