TALK: The Reality of Fantasy
Friday, August 27th
For many years, Fantasy user interfaces (FUI) in film and television have drawn both acclaim and ridicule in equal measure. Credited with pushing boundaries about what is possible and dumbing down and misrepresenting a complex field of work and setting false expectations in the eyes of users. What is the truth?
In this presentation, Mark Coleran will examine why FUI looks the way it does, how it has evolved and the unique challenges and requirements that shape this unusual area of UI work.
