Marek Pawlowski, founder of the MEX conference"Unencumbered by wires, information is flowing into every corner of our world at an ever increasing rate and through an ever increasing range of digital platforms. The single greatest challenge facing digital industries is understanding how this explosion of data will be woven into the fabric of consumers' lives." -- Marek Pawlowski, founder of MEX.

Agenda highlights...

Evolving interaction design to harness the untapped discovery potential of mobile devices

Describing the myriad contextual elements which inform our ability and interest in using mobile devices to discover connections, services and the physical environment. Providing a future vision of how mobile interfaces can adapt and respond to become compelling discovery tools.


Understanding content evolution and new wireless form factors

Looking at the emergence of a new class of wireless devices with larger displays, multiple screens and the effect this will have on user experience. The talk brings insights from several projects where new form factors have prompted new thinking about content and interface design.


Multi-platform user experience design - learning from crisis situations

Drawing on lessons from a detailed ethnographic study of mobile device usage by emergency services in crisis situations, this presentation provides tools and techniques for combining commercial components to create a vertically focused user experience. The session will look closely at how user experience requirements change in high pressure environments and when multiple platforms can be distracting users from their mobile device.


New types of entertainment and storytelling across new device form factors

New wireless device form factors, and the combination of multiple devices working together as part of an overall experience, are creating new opportunities for creative entertainment. Learn how stories can be told in new ways, taking advantage of the unique characteristics of each platform and combining all of the elements to make something greater than the sum of its parts.


Interfaces which age and learn with the user

Explore how an interface could respond to the educational needs of users throughout their school careers, adapting input mechanisms, graphical elements, interaction flow and applications as the user's ability grows. The presentation will examine the concept of an interface which ages with us, exploring a prototype example for school students, and illustrating wider lessons for user experience principles which could help the industry.


Creating magical interface moments and why beauty is not enough

A discussion around magical moments in the interface: what are they, why do we need them and how are they created? Challenging the conventional wisdom that magical moments must be graphically oriented delving deeper into the functional meaning of interface magic.


Design strategies for creating mobile user experience across multiple touchpoints

Examining the challenges the industry faces as it evolves from designing product experiences limited to a single device into complex webs of interaction across numerous customer touchpoints. Providing tools and techniques for how to combine disciplines and ensure your user experience doesn't break in the gaps between your products.


Van Men prefer voice: audible opportunities inspired by forgotten mobile workers

Through the story of a forgotten mobile worker - the Van Men - this talk will bring insight around mobile work and highlight opportunities for a multi-dimensional mobile experience. Such experience weaves together voice and human interaction, with other dimensions, to address contexts for which the mobile experience is currently not relevant. Some of these opportunities will be brought to life in scenarios that combine different platforms, channels and interfaces.


Serendipitous discovery of the world around us

Many of the metaphors we used for discovering new places, information and experiences in the mobile environment are relics of traditional methods. This talk explores how new techniques can transform mobile devices into the ideal platform for serendipitous discovery.
