This workshop aims at the final and pre-final years of the graduate Engineering Students. The presentation details the basic approach for Design Thinking, foundations of Interaction Design wrt history of interactive technologies, and provides a simple framework to design for a positive experience that appeals at Human level and not at technical level..
TechEase is first ever workshop in India to bring together technology and design students to enable them look through each others’ perspective to understand Usability and User Interface Design, and help them design the most user friendly interfaces for applications and devices we use in day-to-day life

Activity
The transition
Complexity of simple Objects
Simple Objects? Transition
What is simple
Systems for determining simplicity against the new developments :Design thinking Approach by IDEO
Systems for determining simplicity against the new developments :Who is using it?What is the interface?Hos is it used?Who can afford it?
Timeline for technology development – Cards/Switches

MITS Altair 1975Imagine a land where computers are in the hands of the people.Creative people from farmers to merchants to students to engineers to housewives to dentists to poets....Imagine a land where the computer is in harmony with man, with nature, with hope, with peace.Imagine a land where computer power is affordable and understandable to almost everyone. You are imagining the land of Altair.The land of Altair is now.

WWW 1990shttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_InternetIndia got is Internet connection on Aug 14, 1995 via VSNL as Gateway Internet Access Service – GIAS at Bombay, Delhi, Calcutta and Madras. It was launched a week late!http://dxm.org/techonomist/news/vsnlnow.htmlAvailable dial-up speed was 9.6 kbps, and if you can affor a leased line, upto 128kbps (at 10 times the cost)http://dxm.org/techonomist/news/vsnl.html
Timeline for technology development – Mobility
Laptops (portable computers) 1980s
Mobile Devices 2000s
Humans are naturally wired for Evolution/Adoption/Adaption
People, drive Business and TechnologyThe desires, copuled with viability and feasibility drives newer solutions.
It is design thinking that drives people into getting the best solution desired out of viability and feasibility.
The level at which Design can be “set” in an organization, or at an individual level
Oppurtunities for innovation :Emotional innovation : When desirability meets viabilityFunctional innovation : When desirability meets feasibilityProcess innovation : When viability meets feasibilityExperience Innovation : Combimation of Emotional, Functional and Process Innovation.
