CREATE 2007: Deadline for abstracts
CREATE is a 2-day conference (13-14 June 2007) about creating innovative interactions, whether digital consumer products, interactive services or interaction paradigms. The emphasis for the conference is to share the wealth of creative ideas we have developed to resolve problems, to create new capabilities, or new functions. The aim is to spawn further creative designs that can make a difference to people. Abstracts of 500 words should be submitted by 31 January.
CREATE 2007: 13-14 June
British Computer Society, Covent Garden, London
Deadline for 500 word abstracts: 31 January 2007
In keeping with the conference theme, the organisers invite people to bring:
- Their experiences: designs, both successes and failures, that have pushed the boundaries of interaction
- Their approaches: principles and methods that have delivered new, people-centred ideas and products.
CREATE will present cases of innovative interactions and visualisations, and discussions of how we innovate. It will show the role of user-centred design in the innovation process, in a workshop format allowing us to debate the ways in which new designs come about and how novel but usable interactions can be developed.
Submission of papers
The organisers invite cases studies of innovative design from the commercial, public, government and research sectors. Cases can come from any paradigm - the web, mobile and hand held, consumer electronics. Outline the problems, the capabilities, or new functions that were being addressed, and then describe the solutions you or your team created to resolve it. IMPORTANT: Include photos, screen shots, or sketches, and tell the organisers how and why it did or did not work. They also welcome theoretical and research perspectives on how we innovate.
