UX Vienna Evening M.- The values of UX: Algorithms as the new UX design material

This meetup will be held online-only.

This time Peter Purgathofer will talk about "The values of UX: Algorithms as the new UX design material".
Peter is Associate professor at the Vienna University of Technology, Faculty of Informatics.
About the talk: When we design interactive systems, we often represent the interests of users in the overall process, from early design until the finished product. We focus on the needs of people who will work with the system, regard them in the design process, and enforce them in the implementation. Just as technology has become an inseparable part of society, I argue that we not only represent users in design, but all of humanity.

What happens at the UX Vienna Evening Meetup (formerly Interaction Design Stammtisch)?

We gather at 7pm and supply ourselves with drinks. We welcome our first-time visitors and do a round of introduction.

We plan tonight's meetup topics. Geeks like myself prepare a talk with slides, and pre-announce it on https://UXvienna.at/ongoing/. Others improvise and shout out a subject they want to discuss. Both ways are fine. More at https://UXvienna.at/join/#minitalk

We try to make a more or less strict agenda with ~3 topics — each time-boxed with 30 minutes. So we will be done with the topics around 9pm and have some more casual talks and in-depth-discussions afterwards. We do that in order to keep some focus on content and that nobody is bored with a topic she's not interested in.

Collaboratively we document each UX Vienna Evening Meetup at https://UXvienna.at/ongoing/.
Check out to see what kept us busy and what you might have missed so far.

We do speak English.

UX Vienna Evening Meetups are on the 2nd tuesday of every month — 12 times a year.
