User Experience Videos
The State of User Experience
Jesse
James Garett, founder of Adaptive Path and author of the book
The Elements of User Experience,
speaks on what UX and UX design is, what UX looked like before and
what are some of the challenges people are encountering now. He
cites engagement as the main goal of UX design and, through some
fantastic examples, shows that engagement is an universal quality
achieved through visuality, sound, touch, smell, taste, body and
mind. One of the most impressive moments from the session is when
Jesse compares Beethoven to an experience designer, accompanied by
the Ninth Symphony. Duration: 40 minutes.
UX Best Practices
In this excellent video session, Nick
Finck pries open the most popular websites today, including
eBay, Amazon, Toyota, Flickr, Twitter and Netflix, to explain user
experience best practices. Nick discusses both the good and bad
experiences on these websites on the basis of visual design,
information architecture, interaction and ease of use. For those
unfamiliar with UX, Nick explains the basic concept and
contributing factors. The last 20 minutes of the session are
reserved for Q&A, and some very interesting
questions and great answers come up. Duration: 1 hour 32 minutes.
There is no video of the session, only 75 slides with an audtio
track.
The Three Ways That Good Design
Makes You Happy
In this short but fantastic lecture, Don Norman, known to many as the
author of The Design of Everyday Things,
explains visual, behavioral and reflective design and the ways in
which each of them affects people. In his witty way, Done shows
examples from everyday life. Duration: 13 minutes.
5 Minutes on Imitation in Design
In this brilliant short talk, Jeffrey Veen explains what is
meant by "Good artists copy, great artist steal." By way of an
interesting short story about World War II and the American army's
contact with natives of the Pacific Islands, he also explains
"cargo cult" and how it still present today. A truly brilliant
video. Duration: 6 minutes.
UX Team of One
In this half-hour session held at the IA Summit 2008, Leah
Buley of Adaptive Path shows what it means to be a UX team of
one by telling her own story and recounting a real-life example.
Leah explains the concept of generative design, which is the
process of creating and sketching a lot of different ideas and then
refining them. The slides are amazing because Leah drew them by
hand. Duration: 32 minutes.
Experience Is the Product
Peter Merholz explains why it is important to focus not on
technology or features but on the product and the experience you
want to create. The session is rich in good and bad examples drawn
from real life. Duration: 43 minutes.
Behavior Is Our Medium
In this fantastic session, Robert Fabricant talks about interaction
design beyond computing technology. His examples include the family
tree and one particularly interesting tree that his daughters drew.
His examples from history, especially ancient history, are amazing
and put interaction design in a broader context beyond the computer
interfaces we're so used to. Duration: 61 minutes.
Web Form Design
If you think Web forms suck (because you have to fill them in every
day), then you must see this video. This talk by Luke Wroblewsky at
MIX 09 is based on years of experience in usability testing and
study. Luke shows examples from the real world and addresses the
major problems with Web form design today. You will see how some of
the biggest websites have failed and what you can do to prevent
such failures in your Web forms. Duration: 75 minutes.
User Experience Design for Non-Designers
In this short mini-breakout session, Shawn Konopinsky explains what
UX design is at a very abstract level. He shows three different
types of user interfaces and how UX design applies to all three. He
explains basic concepts such as concept ideation, interaction
design and visual design and emphasizes the importance of an
"Agile" approach to projects. Duration: 18 minutes.
The Importance of Identity and
Vision to UX Designers on Agile Projects
If you watched the previous video, you will know why the Agile
approach is important in UX design. This video and the slides go
deeper into the Agile approach, relying on research done at London
university. Johanna Kollmann explains the research and the results.
Duration: 32 minutes.
Learning IxD from Everyday
Objects
"Inspiration surrounds us in everyday objects." This is how Bill
DeRouchey begins this brilliant talk about interaction design. We
use icons, words or shapes to create a language of interactions. If
we use the wrong language, the interaction becomes confusing, and
this is what Bill shows, using many common objects and devices. One
of the most interesting slides is the one that shows how users
"hack the interface." Duration: 45 minutes.
Two videos: Information and
Architecture
In these two short videos, Mickey McManus explains related
concepts: information and architecture, using everyday objects,
such as cup of tea, to illustrate his argument. The videos are part
of a short article in which Mickey draws these concepts together to
explain what information architecture is. Duration: a few
minutes.
Wireframes for the Wicked
Nick Finck, along with Michael Angels and Donna Spencer, goes over
wireframing basics via short easy questions. What are wireframes?
Why use wireframes? What does the process of wireframing look like?
The three of them also explain the different types of wireframes
and show examples of their work. Duration: 1 hour 5 minutes.
Design Prototyping: Bringing Wireframes to
Life
Dan Harrelson explains the purpose of prototyping, why it is
important and how it differs from wireframes and visual comps. With
wireframing, instead of seeing how a concept functions or works, we
see how it actually feels, which contributes to better usability
testing. The video, like all videos from MIX 09, has "double view":
while looking at the large slides, you have a synchronized inset
video of the speaker. Duration: 60 minutes.
Journey to the Center of
Design
Does user-centric design really exist? In this funny keynote, Jared
Spool asks whether user-centric design (UCD) has lost its way and
needs to evolve into something else. Ironically, as studies have
shown, many great projects have succeeded without UCD. Jared
suggests three key attributes of great experience design that can
replace UCD. Duration: 1 hour 14 minutes.
User-Centered Design 101
In this Web seminar, Frank Spiller demystifies the paradigm of UCD.
He explains the difference between usability and UCD, which has
confused many. From the perspective of the development process, he
compares UCD to the Agile and Waterfall processes. At the end, he
shows some UCD success stories. Duration: 58 minutes.
The Mint.com Experience
Aaron Forth of Mint.com speaks of the importance of aligning your
user experience and business objectives. He goes over the
challenges of delivering such a user experience at Mint, what the
company did to attract brand interest and how Mint became one of
the best personal-finance software tools today. Interesting fact:
Mint discontinued IE6 support because it spent almost 20% of its
time designing for the browser. Duration: 40 minutes.
Mobile User Experiences
Rachel Hinman start her talk about mobile user experiences with a
provocative thought: that technology disengages us from real life.

in the context of concrete tasks. Duration: 24 minutes.
Tap Is the New Click
"Several years ago, Minority Report was a sci-fi movie, and now
we're already there with [the touch wall]." At the beginning of his
session, Dan Saffer shows a couple of examples of touch-screen
technology that marks the beginning of a new era of interaction in
which gesture and touch replace mouse clicks. He explains how to
design for these technologies by going over how touch-screens
differ from traditional websites and devices. Duration: 67
minutes.
10/GUI
This is a fantastic experiment that examines current mouse-driven
user interfaces and their limitation while offering a completely
new way of interaction. Although keyboard and mouse were really
great innovations in past century, Clayton Miller think we
shouldn't stop there but rather innovate further. Duration: 8
minutes.
The Least You Can Do About Usability
Steve Krug, known to many as the author of Don't Make Me
Think, here tries to convince people to do their own usability
testing. Confirming Jacob Nielsen's advice, that developers can do
it themselves, Steve identifies the minimum requirements to make
usability testing meaningful. At the end of the session, Steve
performs a short usability test right in front of the audience,
which makes this session truly outstanding. Duration: 60
minutes.
AJAX Usability
Kelly Norton talks about a very interesting, and often forgotten,
subject: AJAX usability. He covers usability basics and how to

with widespread opinion. In the second half of the session, Jason
uses audience questions to explain his ideas in more detail.
Duration: 55 minutes.
Bonus videos
Sketching User Experiences
In this keynote from MIX09, the first 25 minutes are taken up by
Bill Buxton, known to many as the author of the book Sketching

in these days of crisis, is a good time to pay attention to design
and what key factors are required to revitalize the user
experience. Duration: 25 minutes.
Interview With Don Norman on UX Week 2008
In a relaxed atmosphere at UX Week 2008, Don Norman answers
interesting questions and share his thoughts on various aspects of
design. One of the best bits comes at the beginning, when Don
