The Making of Cross-Device Experiences: A Hands-on Workshop

Studies show that people often use several devices together to carry out everyday tasks, but there are tremendous challenges when it comes to building effective and usable cross-device experiences. In this workshop, participants will explore these challenges through collaborative prototyping. Specifically, this workshop explores a number of design and prototyping issues such as maintaining consistency between platforms, anticipating cross-device usage, prototyping testable cross-device experiences, and directing user attention in cross-device interactions. By bringing together researchers, practitioners, designers and makers in an intense but reflective day of prototyping cross-device experiences, we believe this workshop will advance the development of new frameworks, tools, and techniques for designing cross-device interactions.
