*About the presentation:
*Learn how global trends in mobile computing will change the practice of
user experience development.
One of the greatest challenges in designing for mobile devices is gaining
perspective early. What you see in a wireframe or a comp on the desktop and
what you see when you hold the same design in your hand can often be an
entirely different experience.
How can we move into this handheld environment earlier? What methods can we
use to simulate the interactions and gain insight on usability? In this
talk, frog design will share some techniques used to approach a recent
multi-modal handset UI.
We will show examples of how simple dialogue, paper prototyping, video
simulation and 'wizard of oz' environments were employed to gather concrete
findings while allowing for maximum flexibility.
*About the speakers:

experience, design research and accessibility. Early in his career, Michael

design, strategy and implementation for a client list that includes Sprint,
GE, Verizon, Oracle, Barclays, and William's Sonoma. Michael holds a BA in

NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program.
Clay Wiedemann specializes in interface research and design at frog design,
and has worked with teams to develop applications for content management
systems as well as airline check-in interfaces. He has worked for a variety
of clients which include Delta Air Lines, Barnes and Noble, Chase Banks, GE,
