Presented at Rocky Mountain Product Camp (http://www.rmpcamp.org/) in Denver, Colorado, USA, on November 16th, 2013.

OVERVIEW:

The term “usability” originates in an era when simply giving people the ability to use technology products, without lengthy training and hefty user manuals, was the main goal motivating attention to human-technology interaction. However, ability to use is really just the tip of the iceberg. This session will start with a short presentation about the deeper, but less obvious, impacts of technology product design on users' thinking, emotion, and behavior. The rest of the session will be an interactive exploration of ways to enhance the value of products by paying attention to the whole iceberg.
