What: PHICHI October Meeting: Product Design Case Studies!



When:

Tuesday, October 17th

Refreshments & Networking: 6-6:30pm

Presentation: 6:30pm – 8ish



Where: UPenn Campus - exact room TBD



Summary (Please view attached flyer):



Come and get a behind the scenes look into the actual process used to solve
design problems behind the creation of...

QVC Active - Mike Madaio, Chief Internet Architect, QVC.com

The first US real-time two-way interactive TV shopping service. Viewers use
their remote control to make purchases in a real-time environment, just as
the product is being showcased on TV.


Russound UNO-TSV Smart Color Touchscreen - Kyle Pero, Founding Principal,
Usable Interface

A touchscreen device that controls a multiroom entertainment system,
lighting and climate control. Users can easily decide what music they’d like
to play and what mood they want to set in different rooms in their home.


In-Stadium seat-based ECommerce Platform - Bill Bulman, Partner,
MessageFirst

A kiosk-based Rich Internet Application that allows sports fans to purchase
concessions and merchandise from their seats. Fans feel closer to their
team, while the team learns important consumer data from their fans.



Each of these products are very different, but some of the same
user-centered design methods were used in their creation (i.e. contextual
inquiries, paper prototyping, user testing, etc). Attendees will learn which
methods were used, as well as, why and how they were implemented. Research
findings, insights, and lessons learned will all be shared.
