The document provides an overview of the development process for a digital storytelling tool called Aesop's Garden. It describes conducting problem interviews to identify user needs, building an initial demo, pivoting to focus on coloring book stories as a minimum viable product (MVP), and next steps of building out the MVP website and testing pricing models. Key lessons learned included focusing on the unique value proposition, embracing constraints to find the true MVP, and getting commitments from illustrators to meet deadlines. The goal is to create personalized stories that help strengthen family relationships even when family members live apart.

The Brand Experience Environments Portfolio 2012Geoff Thatcher
Whatever type of brand experience you need, from product launches or corporate meetings to mobile tours or executive briefing centers, we can be your creative production agency. Our creative approach is driven by research, strategy and a strong narrative that captures an emotional and intellectual connection to our clients' brands. We believe that all projects begin with a well crafted story line. The storyline drives all of our creative work, from exhibit and graphic design to video production and fabrication. At The Brand Experience, our work doesn’t begin with bullet points and a few PowerPoint slides. It begins with words and the creativity that powers them. As one author put it, "An experience is holistic, total, encompassing, transforming and emotional. An experience is an event. A happening. An event-happening with a beginning, a middle and an end." The best experiences are inspired by great stories.

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.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

14. w Asking Open Ended Questions
w No Script
w Not diving deep enough
Couldn’t extract conclusions
15. Thank you very much for taking the time to speak with me today.
We are currently working on a tool that helps parents strengthen social ties by letting them take the important people, places,
and put them into their children's stories. The idea for the tool came from my own experiences interacting with my niece who
lives in Monterrey, MX
But before getting too far ahead of ourselves, I wanted to pause and take the time to learn how other families stay connected
and use stories to see if there are real problems here worth solving.
The way the interview works is: I’ll start by describing the main problems we are tackling and then I’ll ask if any of those
resonate with you. I’d like to stress that we don’t have a finished product yet and our objective is learning from you - not selling
or pitching to you.
Does that sound good?
How many children do you have & what are their ages?
Do they go to public school or private school?
What kind of technology do you let your child interact with?

Great, thanks. So let me tell you about the problems we are tackling:
So the first problem I encountered was that it was difficult for my niece and I to develop a relationship since we live in different
places. We only got to see each a few days every 3 months and I wanted her to know me as a family member, not a stranger.
So the second problem I came up against is that I wanted to make her a story book that would have real pictures of us on an
adventure so even when I wasn’t there she could have Even with my design background I found it was still complicated and a
lot of work. There wasn’t a way for me to create a personalized story with real pictures.
Finally, once I started working on the story, I didn’t know what to write. I didn’t know what story would be the most effective
and what she would like.
So to summarize problems:
1. Wanted my niece to know me as family member even though I didn’t get to spend a lot of direct time with her.
2. I wanted a process to make a personalized story in very little time.
3. Wanted guidance in picking the right content for the story to be.
Do any of these problems resonate with you?
How would you rank these problems?
Have you run into any other problems I didn’t talk about?
So how you do deal those problems today
Thanks a lot for your time today. You have been very helpful.
As I mentioned at the start, this isn’t a finished product. Based on what we talked about today, would you be willing to see the
product when we have something ready?
Also, we are looking to interview other people like yourself. Do you know any other parents with children ages 2-7 who you
think we could interview?
