“As information technologies become ever more popular and ubiquitous, it becomes increasingly important to think about how we in human-computer interaction can build for, support, and understand the rich and varied ways that users interact with and through devices”.

Jofish will discuss ways to think about experience-focused HCI rather than task-focused. This approach considers technology use outside the workplace and designing information technologies that can support rich interactions. He will draw from a variety of research both within and outside the field, including his own work on computerized scent output and on building technologies for couples in long distance relationships.

HFI’s Usability PETscan through analysis of persuasion, emotion and trust provides deep insight into the users decision-making processes to create positive relationships with consumers and impact conversion. The PETscan solution provides an opportunity to truly understand the consumer experience—it gives a thorough analysis of the elements, content and interactions that lead to a more complete experience for your existing and potential consumers.” Dr. Schaffer will conduct a session introducing you to the PETscan technique.
