@UXLondon: @moleitau: "The best way to complain is to make things." - James Murphy, LCD Soundsystem. Brilliant closer.
BTW Twitter search is sucking @UXLondon. I'm using Google real-time search instead: http://j.mp/uxsgrt longlink: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&biw=1052&bih=537&tbm=mbl&q=uxlondon+OR+uxlon+OR+uxldn&aq=f&aqi=m1
@UXLondon and @moleitau released a Roomba into the room. went under stage. I put a glass on it. it ran over a laptop. assistant immediately walked over, turned it off, and put it away. lesson: any misbehavior and you get switched off! this, after @moleitau showed us the Episode 4 scene of the Jawas selling the droids to illustrate robots being treated as slaves for sake of empathizing with them. #irony.
@UXLondon aside: Minority Report UI is specialized: fast real-time immersive search used only for seconds not workday.
@UXLondon: @moleitau made everyone stand up, hold their arms out, demonstrating flaw of Minority Report UI. #strawman!
@UXLondon: @moleitau on stage in CYBERDYNE tshirt, jeans, colorful socks.. opens with ISO OSI stack?! #frontrow #uxlon
@UXLondon: thoroughly enjoyed @katerutter talk. was paying too much attention to write tweetbites. took photos. #uxlon
@UXLondon before lunch: UX vs Service Design (SD) comparisons confused me. Seems more like SD is just part of good UX.
@UXLondon: "Outsourcing your user research is like outsourcing your vacation." - @jmspool quoted by @KimGoodwin #uxlon
@UXLondon: really appreciating @KimGoodwin's use of real world case studies to illustrate points. Was getting annoyed at platitudes/generalizations from previous speakers that sounded more like folk wisdom than science. Have heard too much of that across too many fields for too many years to take such hand-waving seriously, regardless of reputation or personal success of the speaker. Refreshing to hear things from @KimGoodwin like "proper analysis of the data" and recommending simple first-hand user research techniques to invoke empathy in product developers.
@UXLondon: @louisrosenfeld wants to ban "redesign", replace it with "refine". 90% agreed, iterate/evolve FTW. However, sometimes a redesign is necessary, e.g. you can't refine a pile of crap into something beautiful. Whether visual, interaction, experience or otherwise, advocating such an absolutist "no redesigns" position is a bit narrow-minded / throwing-baby-out-with-the-bathwater IMHO. Much better would be to explain both *why* refining is more appropriate in general *and* some specific cases *when* a redesign is likely to be necessary.
@UXLondon: tired of captions + stock art, but appreciated Alan Cooper's concepts, illustrative captions+videos slides.
