Description
Dr. Harry Brignull (Madgex) & Pete Gale (CogApp)
When you tear into the packaging of your newest gadget, the last thing
you want to do is stop and read a manual, or sit there scratching your
head wondering how to get it working. First impressions count, and
although this is commonly known by consumers everywhere, Out Of Box
Experience (OOBE) Design has only recently become a hot topic, spurred
on by leaders like Apple, Nintendo and Dyson.
Harry and Pete have both had recent experience doing OOBE UX research
& consultancy for different clients, so their varying points of view
should create an interesting dynamic in this presentation.
Topics will include:
* What things are normally done wrong in OOBE design?
* What's an effective design process for achieving user-centred OOBE design?
* What design principles can be usefully applied?
