Want to give a presentation or facilitate a discussion? List it here!

NOTE: there is no standard or desired format for the presentations! There will be a few rooms available for parallel sessions. You can lead an interactionary type of session, facilitate a discussion, give a demo, etc. -- it's up to you! We encourage folks to be creative and go beyond traditional lecture-style presentations found at traditional conferences.

There will be white boards and/or flip chart sheets available as well as some other basic office supplies. If you need special materials or supplies, however, you might want to bring what you need with you.

Session length: We are thinking that sessions will be about 30 minutes long.

Please make the title of your sessions Wiki links, so that people may add links to notes, discussions, podcasts etc. later.

I'm bringing musical instruments (guitar, African djembe drums, cow bell, keyboard) and would like to play with music and discuss how we can increase the impact of the user experience through engaging users' multiple intelligences. If you see this in time, please bring your instruments as well. I need to do this on Friday night, since I'm going to crew for my daughter, who is stage managing the Y Fest in SF on Saturday.
31. Chris Heuer - The Power of Three - This is an interactive session we have been throwing around a bit where everyone is split into groups of 3 for the purpose of working through design issues or storytelling issues for a current project. The format is such that the focus is on one person in each group for 10 minutes where the other two people are only allowed to ask questions - no statements, no advice, no new ideas - just probing and clarifying questions. After the first 10 minutes, the focus shifts to the next person and then repeats again. After everyone has had a chance to be the focus of the inquiry process, there will be an open dialogue with everyone involved.
32. Eugene Chen - Aesthetics of Interaction Design. I will try to have something rough together or at least happy to facilitate a discussion.
33. Enoch Choi - Health Search Usability. How Google Co-op Health topic refines health related searches into separate categories. Compared to Healthline & Kosmix. Consumer vs professional. Ontology vs machine algorithm.
34. Enoch Choi - Mobile Medical Device Usability. What are the device requirements for mobile computing devices for physicians vs patients to communicate and use electronic medical records and personal health records in order to transact. Review of experience with cell phone PDAs (e.g. Treo), OQO, EPIC, PAMFonline, Healthline, KatrinaHealth.org.
35. Jaime Guerrero - Paper Prototyping. I'll present Quick/Low-Cost but Hi-Fi Paper Prototyping Methodology for Highly Interactive GUI apps and AJAX web apps. Then we can all describe our own tricks for effective paper prototypes, especially those involving clever usage of office-supplies and other 20th and 19th century technologies such as photocopiers and Post-It Note material. This will hopefully be a Double-Feature with Nancy Frishberg's Prototyping With Junk session ; See #24 - so we can practice and play with some techniques.
36. Belmer Negrillo - Rethinking our Relationship with Electronic Devices. How can products change our perception of waste and common well-being? A discussion about how designers can use their power to shape our material world in a responsible way. Two thesis projects will be presented. Bakedbits are common electronic objects made of real food in order to highlight the issues of consumption, disposability and waste: what is essential, what not. Mobile.Seed is a fully-biodegradable mobile phone that contains a seed inside that sprouts if planted; this fictional product conveys a future in which objects motivate users to engage in ecologically sound behaviour without renouncing consumption.
37. Debbie & Holly want to do a discussion about tools & best practices for designers. Holly & Karl are particularly intersted in deliverables to development in general.
38. Raj Singh - Discussion on Mobile Web design. Things to think about when designing and a list of rants and issues to factor when creating the WAP site.
39. Nerija Titus - Improv & Design.
