Application Subjects Interface Design Web Development Movie Reviews Travel		Jodi, Jodi, Jodi. Posted on 07/15/2001. Spent this past weekend at the 4th Summit for the Advance for Design. Among the many people met were Jodi Forlizzi, an interaction designer teaching at Carnegie Mellon's HCI program. Her research page mentions a number of compelling projects, including a theory of user-product experience as it relates to interaction design, and designing interfaces to support human attention. She and I also talked about some research she's doing on car navigation systems, particular around maximizing the efficacy of maps. 2 comments so far. Add a comment.
