UX and Emerging Technologies
Dirk Knemeyer will present UX and Emerging Technologies. User experience (UX) as a discipline started in computer hardware and software, was co-opted and accelerated by Web site design, and is returning to roost in the exploding digital products of today and tomorrow. To remain relevant, we will need to learn, adapt, and grow in ways we never would have imagined when learning about research, interaction design, and javascript.

From Bathroom to Healthroom: How Magical Technology will Revolutionize Human Health
Juhan Sonin discusses the future of health. It's time to design products to capture life and physiologic signs invisibly … usually through non-invasive sensors that don't require a single drop of blood, but just whiffs and sniffs. And when it is visible, it must be designed to feel wonderful. From Bathroom to Healthroom introduces participants to the macro factors shaping these realities, along with an in-depth exploration of the various impacts of and opportunities for design.

Juhan Sonin discusses the future of health. We are headed to “stage zero” detection and treatment which has the potential to double or better the lifespan of every first-world citizen. The power of the data and tools is impressive. The implications are daunting to the same degree. Designers and engineers will need to deliver products that are functional and invisible, but also make designs that are inviting not intimidating, reassuring and not anxiety-producing. We want to improve humanity, not put it under house arrest.
