September 2015: A design case study from Christie

We have something extra special this month: our good friends at Christie Digital (http://www.christiedigital.com/) are hosting uxWaterloo at their Kitchener headquarters!

Christie is known for their leading digital projectors, used around the world in cinemas, offices, conferences, and more. And while the content that’s projected onto big screens is, of course, what's of interest to most people — we'll instead be digging into the question of how do you control the projected image?

Join Chris Kirby and Alan Woo from the Christie design team as they show how the team went about creating a remote control for a new projector. You’ll see and learn about:

• Examples of early to late-stage physical prototypes

• Their design process

• Incorporating user research into the project

• Many logistical details of bringing a design to life in a large organization

This uxWaterloo session is part of a full week of UX events in Waterloo Region, culminating in Fluxible (http://www.fluxible.ca), which is happening on the weekend. Celebrate UX in our community!
