The slides from my talk on how Interaction Design can be inspired by Music Technology. I presented this version at London IA event at Sense Loft on 11th January 20112. I have tried to insert urls from the various videos on the slides themselves to help, but it doesn't replace the experience of being there - sorry.
Apologies for the recruitment plug. Yes it is genuine, but I forgot to take it out. Will try and upload a newer version if I get a chance.
Inspiring Music Technology for Physical Interaction DesignJason Mesut
Static slides from Jason Mesut's talk at MEX on December 1st 2010. Jason explores how physical controls and modularity so prevalent in music technology can influence interaction design of the future.
Resonance - When Interaction Design meets Music TechJason Mesut
In this presentation Jason connects the world of music technology to professional design practice. He shares some of his inspiration from midi controllers to hard and soft synths. He explores how academia, music technology and the design world can learn from each other. Then he shares some potential trajectories, opportunities and challenges for the future.
If you like interaction design, musical instruments and classic synths, you will love this.
---------------------------
Jason studied Industrial Design at Brunel University. Since then, his 17 year career in User Experience led him to running regular community events as a local leader for the Interaction Design Association (IxDA) and founding the design and innovation consultancy, Resonant, where he works on physical-digital products and services. When he was younger, he started making music on the Commodore 64, and then on the Amiga with OctaMed. Jason has substituted his lack of musical training with ongoing investments in music technology. He justifies this by connecting his personal passion of music technology with his professional career.

Technology for 21st century music educator - TULSAPhilip Copeland
This generation is called by many names, but one thing is undeniable: today’s student is quite different from those of the past.
When it comes to technology, the student knows more than the teacher. This backwards relationship causes frustration in many; they choose to “opt out” of technology instead of embracing it as a tool for becoming more effective.
The purpose of this presentation is to help today's music educator catch up to their students. By mastering these tools and strategies, today's music educator can become more proficient in critical aspects of their job:
● Communication with students, parents, and the local community
● organization and management of the choral program
● staying current in the profession
Film and literature often reflect on technology, but what does music have to say? An, in particular, music made with technology? A look at the intimate relationship between music and technology over the past 50 years.

Shaping Designers and Design Teams: IxDA Berlin 10th Anniversary additionJason Mesut
A first outing of a talk that covers some of the work that I am doing around the world to help people profile themselves and their teams to better reflect, focus development, hire the right people and retain them better.
Growing your UX Career through community interactionsJason Mesut
A talk I gave at the first UX Crunch for Junior UX practitioners. How you can grow your career through meetups, mapping, meetings, mentors and mastering modes. It was put together in a few hours as I was a last minute replacement. Hopefully i'll revisit at some point.
My presentation focusing on building your best design team, and providing a framework for framing your team. As prepared exclusively for the Leading Design Conference in London.
Reflecting on over 20 years of designing around mobile technology, products and services, Jason descibes some of the lessons he has learned along the way. He then uses these as a basis to help identify how these might help us identify new opportunities and tackle key challenges as we cerate new mobile solutions.
The world of design is getting ever more complex. There are an increasing number of different specialists to involve in conceiving new products and services. With each specialism comes more potential challenges for working together. How do we continually evolve our abilities to collaborate?
Jason Mesut explores some of his own experience in different design roles, as an event organiser, as a father, as a leader and as a a manager to offer a frameowrk for collaboration based on 3 key engagement strategies, 6 key behavioral principles, and 6 key skills to practice to help you on your voyage to master the craft of collaboration.
A challenging review of the future of user interfaces, and a plea to better focus and shun the shiny:
– triangulate through experts
– observe emergent behaviour
– and track a range of trends.
Get out the echochamber and avoid the human centipede of digital rhetoric. Listen harder with your eyes and critique better with your mind.
Bridging the Physical-Digital Divide: Industrial Designer EditionJason Mesut
With the proliferation of touchscreens and a hardware revival driven by internet technologists, Industrial Design is at risk of becoming irrelevant.
How can Industrial Design engage with the technology, user experience and software communities to help create harmony across physical products and digital services?
From research with 30+ Industrial Designers, User Experience designers and technologists, I concluded that the divide can be broken down across a series of axes and bridged by connecting, calibrating and collaborating.

Creating the Perfect User Experience DesignerJason Mesut
I created this large poster in 2005 when I was working at Framfab, now Digitas LBi. It was created off the back of a bunch of research with project managers, designers, user experience folk (we called them experience architects at Framfab) and developers. It was used for many years at career events at Framfab/LBi.
Sell yourselves better: What a UX employer looks forJason Mesut
A presentation I pulled together for General Assembly's UX Design Immersive course in London.
I pulled the presentation together in a morning from some old and emerging thinking. Hoping to progress soon, so any feedback greatly received.
Interactions 12 Redux - Beyond the screenJason Mesut
A redux of a number of talks at Interactions 12 that I saw connected by a theme of moving beyond the screen. Beyond the Natural User Interface. Beyond 'mobile.
Truth and Dare - Out of the echochamber into the fireJason Mesut
This is a presentation that starts to touch on the risks and issues circling the UX echochamber right now, and what we can do to battle them.
It's a presentation I gave at EuroIA on September 23rd 2011. It has been designed to be readable without presentation and also to aid comprehension by non-english speaking audiences. Hence the amount of wordy slides.
These are the slides for my Lightening UX Lisbon talk around User Experience people selling themselves better. There is a deeper focus on portfolios which are 80% bad in my experience, but not just for new jobs. See more at www.betteruxportfolios.com.
This came out for day 16 of RMA Consulting's UX Advent Calendar of 2010.
A quick introduction to Kano for User Experience / Design folk. Can be used for Agile as well. It allows you to classify different levels of innovation within a product or service. There are some simple questions you can use to classify certain features e.g. for an Agile project.
This is a documentation of a freewheeled discussion around why we as User Experience professionals need to understand the threats to our industry and adapt to survive and thrive. The title is a bit misleading, but only because the discussion went in a different direction

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
