Two upcoming presentations in San Francisco will discuss the relationships between industrial design and related disciplines:
- Interaction Design and ID: On the evening of Thursday, October 18th, IxDA San Francisco is hosting INTERSECTION: Where Interaction and Industrial Design Meet featuring case studies from Cooper, frog design, Motorola and IDEO. The event coincides with Connecting '07 IDSA national conference and is "an evening of dialog between two closely related but often siloed fields: Industrial Design and Interaction Design. On October 18 at C|net, we will hear case studies from Cooper, frog design, Motorola and IDEO, highlighting the intersection point of the two disciplines and the ups and downs of collaboration." For more information - http://gamma.ixda.org/discuss.php?post=21100 - no registration required.
- Service Design and ID: On Friday October 19th, at the Connecting '07 conference, Rob Tannen (disclosure: that's me) will be presenting Connecting Service Design and Industrial Design. As the title implies, this will focus on the important role of industrial designers within the context of service design. This will include using the conference experience itself as an example of service design analysis. For more information/schedule - http://www.idsa.org/PDFs/connecting07_schedule.pdf - IDSA conference registration required.
Stay tuned for information about these two presentations following the conference.
