(Updated June 29, 2010) The Promise of using ui patterns for large software packages revisitedApr 26, 2010: In this case study Annette Stotz and Udo Arend reflect on how a UI pattern-based design for building standard business software affects the user experience and the user-centered design process. Pattern-based design does not optimize the user experience per se. Additional factors, such as user-centered design, prototyping tools, and management support determine the success or failure of the pattern-based approach. Interweaving the factors in the right way is a prerequisite for success. INTERACT 2009 – Research & Practice?

5, 2010: In July 2010, the SAP user experience (UX) team organized
the SAP User Experience Conference at Shanghai International
Convention Center. Over 200 industry practitioners, university
professors, and students from the UX field joined the one-day event.
Drawing on years of experience in user interface (UI) design, senior
members of the SAP UX team shared their insights into current business
application design, illustrated with examples from SAP's state-of-the-art
solutions. Experienced designers from peer companies and university
researchers shared their design thinking and speculated on emerging
UI technology trends, making the conference a grand gathering for
the UX community in China. Read a review of the event by Jeff Zhu.

22, 2010: In this report, Frank Reichert and Fabian Kraft,
together with their supervisor Thomas Hirt, present a novel interactive
kitchen system that they created as part of their studies at the
University of Applied Sciences in Düsseldorf. The challenge
that Frank and Fabian faced was another facet of Thomas Hirt's
interests: to develop visionary concepts and designs for an interactive
kitchen interface. The project was a collaboration with an industry
partner so the project was not only about design but also involved
the entire product development life-cycle, including a market analysis
on which the final design concepts were based.
Dec
10, 2009: INTERACT 2009, the 12th IFIP TC13 International Conference
on Human-Computer Interaction took place in Uppsala, Sweden, the
country's oldest university city. This conference has a more European "feel" than,
for example, the CHI conference, is one of the smaller international
HCI conferences, and has a chiefly academic touch. The conference
hosts do, however, seem to have already identified this bias as
an issue and attempted to counteract it: The conference motto was "Research & Practice",
and an "industry day" was introduced as a new ingredient.
But was that enough to justify the motto? Our author will return
to this question at the end of his report.
