Come join STL IxDA Face to Face as we celebrate World Usability Day this Thursday, 11/13, in the upstairs bar at Brennan's in the Central West End. (Google Map Link<http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Brennan+st.+louis&sll=38.589826,-90.006261&sspn=0.011908,0.021887&g=207+North+Point+Rd,+Fairview+Heights,+IL+62208&ie=UTF8&ll=38.654985,-90.259209&spn=0.023795,0.060081&z=15&iwloc=A&iwd=1&cid=38644666,-90261133,9457755970461846008&dtab=0>) The theme for this year's World Usability Day is transportation, so we have a challenge: Reach Brennan's using only public transportation! This is completely optional since, ahem, the STL public transportation may not support your goal of arriving at your destination quickly and easily. :)
But, if you choose to accept this mission we ask you to do a few things: Take notes of costs, schedule,route, mode(s) and observations Take pictures of anything noteworthy, a confusing sign or a disturbing co-passenger. Observe the complete experience - sights, sounds, smells (!), cognitive load, etc. If you have a twitter account, use the hash code #wud_stl so we can track your tweets. When you arrive at Brennan's be prepared to share with the group your experience, and if you choose not to use public transportation please share why you didn't. If you have any questions please contact either Nathan Verrill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or Brad Nunnally<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> . We'll have prizes for most convoluted route, worst experience, and most modes of transport used. There will also be a special prize if you arrive on a beast of burden. Cheers & see you there! -- Brad Ty Nunnally ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
