Mathieu Turpault, partner and director of design at Bresslergroup, describes the integrated UI/ID process at an April 3 event.

About 50 user experience designers and product developers gathered at Bresslergroup's office for a PDMA Philadelphia event on April 3. Mathieu Turpault, IDSA, director of design and Rob Tannen, Ph.D., IDSA, director of research and interface design, presented the latest thinking on the blended process of product design. 

Spot is a fast portable easy-to-use vision-screening system designed to detect several ophthalmological issues in children from near-sightedness to eye misalignment. The typical user is a volunteer vision screener who is part of a school or community vision-screening event. The Wi-Fi-enabled handheld device makes vision screening as easy as using a camera; the touch-screen interface clearly displays results accurately and instantly.

The Human Factors & Ergonomics Society, Delaware Valley Chapter Presents:

Rob Tannen, PhD, IDSA, will present on emerging technologies and tools that have the potential to change how user research will be performed in the near future:

Usability practitioners are in the enviable position of researching and evaluating new technologies - but are often limited by the tools available for conducting this research. A number of solutions have recently become available to support the process of user research. There are also several emerging technologies that have the potential to change what/how research will be performed in the near future.
