Talk Emerging Technologies in UX: Promise to Practice
Modern interactive technologies are opening up a broad new world of wonder and experimentation, and bleeding edge demos and installations are an endless source of inspiration. But how do you respond to the client who wants "that crazy tech-demo thing I saw on YouTube" or that fantastic device/interface from the latest science fiction film? How would you build that? Could you build that? Should you build that? Darren David, Stimulant's CEO, will aim to demystify some of the art and science behind everything from Kinect hacking to building-size projection mapping, and give you real-world ideas and advice that will help you turn inspiration into real-world magic.
