Masterclass C: Beyond the Interface - Delivering Rich User Experiences

Led by: Simon Reid, Senior User Experience Consultant, Adobe Systems
No longer is the adage “Build it and they will come” appropriate. End users are increasingly web savvy and are demanding concise, articulate and engaging user experiences from their online interactions, regardless of their domain. Utilising video, audio, motion and new interaction techniques are essential to match end user expectations.
However, simply using the technology is not enough to guarantee success.

This session will explore the effectiveness of rich internet applications, leveraging the technologies available, how we arrived at today’s online platform for delivering great experiences, and will delve into the importance of a User Centric approach to defining and designing experiences that delight.

Highly interactive and immensely engaging.
