World Usability Day at User Vision - UX & Innovation

For the 10th year, we're running our popular free open house event to celebrate World Usability Day and to engage, amuse and entertain anyone who's interested in UX. It's a great chance to get hands on with experience design and user research, and hear from those who put it into practice.

This year's theme is INNOVATION, but what does innovation actually mean? And what does it mean in the context of UX? Come along any time between 2pm to 6pm find out more!

We have an afternoon of activities and a line up of exciting quests including:

- Hear from our experienced panel of guest speakers from FanDuel, Standard Life, Neatebox, Stipso and Tusi wearable technology to discuss balancing #UX and Innovation (3-4pm)
- Test your UX knowledge with our UX challenge quiz
- Visit our interactive stations offering a chance to try out eye tracking, prototyping and much more
- Demonstrations of screen readers and other web accessibility technologies
- Try out the amazing Osmo engagement for learning through play on the iPad
- Vote for your favourite virtual reality application and let us know your dream app
- Usability testing the TUSI Smartwatch text input app, and more
...all whilst enjoying some nibbles and wine

Most businesses online serve customers throughout the country or internationally, which presents a big challenge when trying to perform user experience research with them.

Fortunately in the past few years many solutions have made it possible to research user behaviour and opinions remotely, and we have applied many of these in our projects for clients.

In this Breakfast Briefing we will provide a practical overview of the types of remote research tools available and how to use them most effectively.

We will cover approaches in two categories:

• Remote moderated testing
• Remote un-moderated testing

For each one we will discuss when they are most appropriate, the types of results they offer, and the pros and cons of each approach. We’ll also offer some examples of how we have applied these on client projects and some practical tips and tricks for getting the most out of each approach.

The session will be presented by User Vision Director Chris Rourke and UX Consultant Alan Blackwood who has conducted many remote research projects.

We look forward to seeing you there.
