Day 2 Studio tour

Studio tourAn afternoon visiting the design studios of Disney, Wall Street On Demand, and Crispin

Porter + Bogusky

DisneyWe were given a presentation of the work at

Disney (formerly Kapoof)

Crispin Porter + BoguskyWe were taken to the city in a warehouse that is

Crispin Porter + Bogusky. An amazing space and fun vibe. Big thanks to Matt Walsh and the

CPB guys for sorting out the coach to Vail.N.B. The images that follow do not do their space justice as

we couldn’t photograph all areas

Wall Street On DemandThe highlight of the tour for me was seeing the work of these guys. Excellent work delivering

rich data visualisation and complex apps across "nancial and healthcare sectors.

Day 3 Conference

The Neuroscience of usability

Brenda Laurel keynoteThe queen of interactive gaming gave us a tour

of the key ‘hinges’ in interactive media that have shaped our world.

A truly mesmerising trip through cyberspace.


Games design is still on the cutting edge of interaction design

Bruce Sterling wraps upAn incisive end to the conference. Bruce

summarised the discussions and poked at our delusions of grandeur.

“If you say something and people don’t get upset, you’ve said nothing.”


Design’s not good at morality“
