A brief history of how the rapid advances in GPU technology have
allowed film makers and designers to create high end visual effects
using accessible computing technology, and how this has lead to the
normalisation of VFX in low to mid-range video productions.
Touching on software design & development and visual effects
processes, the talk will take the form of a brief introduction,
software demonstration and examples and Q&A session, examining
both backend and front end design considerations.Data engineering track module 2

AI for Manufacturing (Machine Vision, Edge AI, Federated Learning)
Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies are transforming key industries like manufacturing, finance, retail, and healthcare. Edge computing and federated learning are emerging approaches that can help address challenges around data privacy, bandwidth constraints, and latency. Edge AI runs optimized models directly on devices to analyze data and only send results rather than raw data. Federated learning leverages local AI models across edge devices to improve performance while keeping sensitive data private. Together these approaches help make AI more scalable, responsive and privacy-preserving for industries.
iEst-Rental Apartment(Report)
This document provides an overview of an SD5509 Prototyping & Scripting project that involves designing a web-based system called "i Est" to help people in Hong Kong, especially college students, search for and rent apartments more easily. The system aims to address common problems in the rental process like high costs, lack of facilities, and difficulty comparing options. It proposes designing i Est using technologies like RFID cards, virtual/augmented reality, and speech recognition to allow simulated apartment views and direct contact with owners. The document outlines the project objectives, target users, problems, design concepts, proposed technologies, and provides examples of use cases and scripted interactions within a prototype of the i Est interface.

The Essentials of Great Search Design (ECIR 2010)
This document outlines an essential search design process called "Sprint 0" that involves cross-disciplinary collaboration. It emphasizes learning from stakeholders, users, and technical experts to understand business goals, user needs, and technological capabilities. Concepts are developed through inspiration, ideation, and iterative prototyping and testing of interaction and technical designs. The goal is to unite business goals, user needs, and technological possibilities to discover solutions and innovate through an inclusive design process.
Managing Connections to Maximize Innovation
Developing "relationship capital" is something more than adding more connections to your network. This is an abridged deck for a talk I give on how to differentiate between connections and relationships to maximize innovation.
2009_06_08 The Lean Startup Tokyo edition
The document discusses the Lean Startup methodology for building startups. It describes how most startups fail due to making assumptions without validating them with customers. The Lean Startup approach advocates for continuous customer feedback through short development cycles, rapid experimentation, and measuring what customers actually do rather than what they say. This allows startups to continually learn and adjust their product to fit the market.
GENERATOR V1.0 (Shenzhen)
The document outlines an agenda for a conference with 10 speakers discussing topics like intuitive automation, open hardware, hardware acceleration programs, and strategies for starting whole-brained startups.

Moah Mini Upa2009
1. The document discusses what user interface designers can learn from architecture, including design, solving human problems, and working within constraints.
2. It recommends that UI designers claim the role of architects by learning computer science principles and system designs, and to not be afraid to discard even good ideas if they don't fit.
3. UI designers are also advised to avoid breaking established paradigms that users have become accustomed to, unless changing paradigms is a core part of the product's design.
Automated Low Cost 3D Scanning
The uses of 3D imaging are extending rapidly to many industries that are leveraging the power of 3D software to greatly enhance their products. While 3D scanning technologies have typically been available as high-end industrial systems that are expensive and limited to specific objects they can scan, small and medium businesses need an affordable 3D scanning solution they can use in their manufacturing processes.
Thomas Tong from 3D3 Solutions and Nasir Mannan from Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT) presented at RAPID 2010 on the topic "Low Cost Automated 3D Scanning".
Design for failure in the IoT: what could possibly go wrong?
We’re putting computing power, machine learning, sensing, actuation, and connectivity into more and more objects, services, and systems in the physical world. This enables new ways for things to work better. But it also creates new possibilities for failure, not least when software problems produce real-world consequences. Failures can damage the user experience, undermine the value of the product, and sometimes present danger.
When you develop a connected product, you must identify everything that could go wrong—from power failures to cessation of user support—and ensure that each potential problem can be adequately mitigated. If the value of your product is marginal but the consequences of it going wrong could be catastrophic, it’s time to rethink your plans.

Network Equipment Testing White Paper
This white paper discusses best practices for testing network equipment to ensure it can handle the demands of complex enterprise networks. Such networks contain hundreds of devices that strain bandwidth, including email clients, file servers, printers, and more. The paper recommends testing network elements like routers and switches in various simulated network environments to evaluate how they perform under real-world conditions with different traffic loads. It also suggests documenting both testing practices and network configurations to help manufacturers develop equipment that can meet customer needs.

HCID 2014: Developing jewellery for the future. Dan Moller, Kovert Designs.
Wearable Tech refers to electronic devices worn on the body. Almost all devices released to date are in the form of rubber fitness bands or smartwatches, both worn on the wrist. Whilst in its infancy, Wearable Tech has some innovative potential uses. Imagine being able to control any device in your home by the snap of a finger; unlock your door, car or computer just by touching it; be alerted if your stress level, heart rate or blood sugar level is abnormal or even allow your doctor to remotely administer medication if he sees your vitals drop.
We’re on the cusp of a new wave of electronics which will re-define the way people use technology. But fundamentally, people need to want to wear these devices. Whilst Samsung and Apple will no doubt take care of the early adopters and technology advocates who care about functionality and convenience, the fashion conscious consumer has yet to be accounted for. This is the gap in the market that Kovert will exploit through being not only a wearable tech company but also a fashion brand.
HCID 2014: Designing Out The Screen. Steve Taylor, The Alloy.
This talk is about how, as Designers, can we move beyond the need to
design a screen into everything and embrace physical interactions? Now computing is becoming ever more ubiquitous & entwined into our lives, surely an acceptable solution isn't to cover our world in icons & screens. There is an emerging trend of beautifully crafted products that are becoming the face of complex systems, yet they have no screen at all and still provide a rich suite of interactions that are easily accessible by the user. What tools are available to us as Interaction Designer’s to give us the courage to step away from our wireframes & start designing beautiful, engaging physical interactions?

HCID 2014: Defending users, helping businesses: the transactional aspects of ...City University London
The idea of 'designing for users’ is most appealing until business reality hits home: what the users want is work to discover, not what the Product Owner had in mind, what the competition is doing, too hard to build, and so much more. UX is often called at the last minute, in the hope that miracles can happen, “can you add some ux there, it’s not doing terribly well” being an oft-heard preamble to a conversation that’s likely to tumble down and capsize hopes and dreams. The practice of UX requires to support business reality whilst catering for, and sometimes defending users. I will share with you how I've ported my UX knowledge in the teams I've worked with to ensure UX doesn't become the costly harbinger of bad news, enemy of design, arch-enemy of tech and general spanner in the works. I’ll explain what worked and didn't work, the appropriate pace to grow UX in any environment and why HCI academics are the best card in my pocket.HCID 2014: Film & broadcasting techniques applied to UX design.

Science Fiction can be source of inspiration when thinking and designing UX. From the icon gestural interface of Minority Report to the use of PADDs in Star Trek, writers and film makers have been lucky enough to come up with ideas that are both creative and realistic. This talk with cover a few examples as to how science fiction predicted current technology and behaviours, but also how to choose the right technology to draw inspiration from. The talk will also cover techniques to help get creative through the power of future thinking
HCID2014: Personifying your portfolio. Nick Grantham, Source.
The document discusses how to create an effective portfolio that showcases a UX designer's skills and experience. It recommends personifying the portfolio to represent yourself, demonstrate how you work, and add depth beyond just a resume. Key tips include showing your process, telling a story with your work, maintaining consistency, engaging the reader, and including deliverables like sketches, prototypes and case studies. The goal is for the portfolio to stand on its own and prove your qualifications for UX roles.

Matt Gibson, Cyber-duck
We can no longer predict how people are accessing our websites
now, let alone in a few years’ time when the technology people use
to access the web will inevitably diverge even further and perhaps in
ways we haven’t even considered yet. Rather than seeing this unpredictability and lack of control as a problem, we should embrace
these ‘known unknowns’ and the inherent flexibility of the web.
Put simply, responsive web design is about being more flexible and assuming less about our users, from how they’re accessing our websites and what technology they’re using to their environment. This talk will discuss the four tenets of good responsive design: content parity, performance, future friendliness and accessibility against a backdrop of Matt's experiences designing and building responsive websites over the past 3 years with plenty of useful tips and takeaways along the way.

Ways of seeing: Innovative Research Techniques In Video Ethnography - Nick Le...City University London
This document discusses video ethnography techniques for innovative research. It describes video ethnography as a method to observe and understand cultural behaviors and meanings through context. Key aspects include open-ended discovery guided by inquiry, developing relationships, and revealing knowledge that emerges naturally from contexts. Observation techniques capture natural behaviors and allow moving between insider and outsider perspectives. Co-discovery decodes meanings attached to behaviors. Case studies demonstrate how video can illustrate people's lives and social behaviors. Combining techniques identifies unknown issues and frames questions, while video outputs communicate findings and stories to create engagement.

This document discusses best practices for using fonts on screens. It notes that screen typography is still evolving and font rendering can vary across platforms and devices. Different formats and licenses may be required for web fonts versus embedded fonts. When rendering fonts on screens, rasterizers convert vector outlines to pixels in different ways depending on the device. The document provides examples of how LCD and e-ink screens display pixels. It recommends choosing fonts designed for screens that have vertical proportions, shapes, spacing, and weights suitable for small sizes. Adjusting line height and size can improve readability when combining fonts. Font designers are working to optimize existing fonts and design new fonts specifically for legibility on screens.

Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
