IDblog ... an information design weblog

November 07, 2002
Pittsburgh or Scottsdale?

Oh dear, another interesting conference for the 2003 season. The folks at Carnegie Mellon and ACM are bringing you the Conference on Designing Pleasurable Products and Interfaces, June 23-26, 2003, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I'd love to get to UPA, but daBurgh is home (and just a few hours drive from here).

How interesting that, given yesterday's (sort of) entry on the technical vs the artistic, they note that:

Issues of affective and emotional response to products are exceedingly important within the communities of human factors, product design, and design research. As people become more sensitive to the aesthetic and emotional dimensions of products that go beyond traditional aspects of usability, the need to understand and create resonance between people and products increases.

This may be, but is it just me, or is it a tad bizarro that they needed to do this page entirely with images?
