** What interaction designers have to learn from industrial design,
and vice versa **
* Presented by Ted Booth, Senior Design Manager, Motorola Enterprise Mobility *

Details:
Thursday May 23rd, 6:30pm
Location provided on RSVP (send RSVPs to nyc-rsvp at ixda.org).

Description:
"After nearly eight years designing web sites, online and desktop
applications, I dropped the browser and embraced devices. I wanted to
explore designing for different physical platforms because the
Internet, and digital experiences more broadly, were moving beyond
just the PC. Since then I have worked almost exclusively with
industrial designers, mechanical and electrical engineers. In this
presentation, I will share experiences and insights into what
interaction designers and industrial designers have to learn from each
other."

About Ted Booth:
Ted leads interaction design at Motorola Enterprise Mobility, formerly
Symbol Technologies. His team is part of the Innovation and Design
group which includes industrial designers, design researchers, human

His team handles user interface and interaction design for a wide
range of mobile computers, RFID devices, remote management software
services, and desktop and mobile software applications. Their products
