Creating Meaningful Digital ExperiencesMark Badger
Do relationships between brands and consumers arise naturally, or are they designed? If the goal of design is to influence, modify, and drive behavior, shouldn’t we explore the meaning of those underlying interactions?
The idea that designed elements must be easy to interpret has greater potential for consumers and brands than just ensuring that a website or web application is usable. Designing interfaces that are usable is important, but what if there is more to designing a successful user experience than merely ensuring that it is usable?
At FutureM in Boston, on October 25th, 2012, Roundarch Isobar hosted a panel discussion titled “Creating Meaningful Digital Experiences: The Semiotics of UX,” which explored these ideas along with questions such as:
- Do relationships between brands and consumers arise naturally, or are they designed?
- If the goal of design is to influence, modify, and drive behavior, shouldn’t we explore the meaning generated by those underlying interactions?
- How do evolving paradigms such as gestural and natural user interfaces (NUIs), wearable tech, and pervasive social media affect the relationship between consumers and brands?
The document discusses different value creation logics including the industrial logic focused on economies of scale, standardization, and automation; the dream society logic prioritizing emotions and branding over functionality; the creative man logic emphasizing individualized production and innovation; and the knowledge society logic centered around developing and commercializing new knowledge. It also examines trends like digitalization, decentralization, and the transition towards more diverse, personalized, and experience-based forms of production and consumption.
The document outlines 20 principles of user interface design. The principles stress that interfaces should provide clarity, enable interaction, and conserve user attention. Interfaces should keep users in control, use direct manipulation, and have a single primary action per screen. Consistency, organization, and progressive disclosure help reduce cognitive load. Great design is invisible and solves existing problems.
The document discusses design considerations for the iPad tablet device. It notes that the iPad is meant for more leisurely use than a laptop, and emphasizes touch interactions over mouse and keyboard. Key recommendations include optimizing for one-handed use, using larger touch targets, considering both horizontal and vertical screen orientations, focusing on rich interactive content over controls, and designing for interruption since only one app can run at a time.
This document discusses challenges and solutions for mobile augmented reality (MAR). It outlines issues like lack of standards, open data and complex privacy concerns. It proposes the creation of an open MAR foundation to promote solutions through events like the 1st European Augmented Reality Conference in April 2010.

A bit more emotion, a little less emotional - future perspectives for emotion...Marco van Hout
This document discusses the emergence and future of emotion-driven design. It notes that considering emotions became more important for influencing consumer purchases and improving user experience. Emotion does not have to contradict functionality. While early modernist design emphasized simplicity and utility over emotion, modernists still designed for pleasure. Going forward, emotional design should fit personal, social and cultural contexts to make people feel positive about products that meet their goals, standards and attitudes. The future of emotion-driven design involves understanding different stakeholders' concerns across various digital screens in urban environments.

The document describes the bucket sorting algorithm. It works by dividing the input range into buckets and distributing elements into the buckets based on their values. Each bucket is then sorted individually, usually with insertion sort, and concatenated together in order. The time complexity is O(n) when the number of buckets k is Θ(n), as distributing elements takes O(n) time, sorting each bucket takes O(n log(n/k)) time, and concatenating takes O(k) time. Bucket sort assumes uniform distribution of input elements across the range.

A hash algorithm is a one-way function that converts a data string into a numeric string output of fixed length. It is collision resistant, meaning it is very unlikely for different data to produce the same hash value. Common hash algorithms include MD5 and SHA-1. A one-way hash function takes a variable-length input and produces a fixed-length output. It is easy to compute the hash but very difficult to reverse it or find collisions. Hash functions are used for password verification, digital signatures, and ensuring data integrity.

Comparison sorting algorithms work by making pairwise comparisons between elements to determine the order in a sorted list. They have a lower bound of Ω(n log n) time complexity due to needing to traverse a decision tree with a minimum of n log n comparisons. Counting sort is a non-comparison sorting algorithm that takes advantage of key assumptions about the data to count and place elements directly into the output array in linear time O(n+k), where n is the number of elements and k is the range of possible key values.

Erik Loehfelm of Universal Mind discusses designing elegant user experiences across devices and platforms. He emphasizes focusing on understanding people and contexts, documenting user journeys, exploring options in wireframes, and testing iteratively. Loehfelm advocates a mobile-first approach using responsive design and progressive enhancement to build experiences from a baseline up. Technologies mentioned include HTML5, LESS, Backbone, Bootstrap, and jQuery. Fluid UI is recommended for on-device wireframing and prototyping.
"We’re no longer telling objects what to do and why – now, they sense, respond without our direction. Right now we are in the perfect storm for the Internet of Things with accessible robotics, affordable sensors, wireless communications, object tagging, and easy broadband access."
The document discusses how two major trends - the explosive growth of mobile and the rise of lean UX and agile development - are changing the user experience design industry. It advocates for a mobile-first approach to design and embracing lean UX processes like rapid prototyping and frequent user testing. Specific design considerations for mobile like touch targets, one-handed use, and short bursts of activity are also covered. The document argues that these trends open new opportunities for innovating experiences that leverage the unique capabilities of mobile devices.
