Chris Heathcote @ Design Engaged 2005

Chris Heathcote will be at Design Engaged 2005 in Berlin. I saw his excellent talk on tangible computing at Reboot 7. His being in Berlin this year is reason enough to go. The rest of the line up looks good too.

IBM aan de UX

IBM said today it will launch a new service that allows companies to tap into IBM’s award-winning product design and usability expertise, creating breakthrough products for other companies that offer more impact and user satisfaction in everything from consumer electronics to medical devices, like those that transmit data from pulse rate, heart rate and glucose level monitors over cellular networks. With this new service, IBM design experts will consult directly with clients who want deep insight into how their consumers or business customers might interact with future products or services. IBM experts will also assist companies with the building blocks needed to move from design concepts to actual offerings.

IBM gaat aan de User Experience Design dus. Op verschillende blogs wordt al aangegeven dat ze in de States hiermee direct concureren met toko’s als Frog en IDEO.
