Take a groundbreaking NUI-enabled product from concept to reality while keeping your customer at the center of it all. Most designers are experts at improving upon existing experiences – but how does your process translate to a brand new product? How do you keep a brand new product alive, keep stakeholders passionate, and keep your customer at the center of it all all from behind a veil of secrecy? Cheryl shares some of the processes and techniques she used to help get the Echo Look from a blue-sky idea to a tangible, validated experience in the hands of customers worldwide. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of how to incorporate natural user interface concepts into your envisioning work, and how to set yourself up for success in the challenging and often secretive environment of new product design. (This is the keynote length version of this talk; a 35-minute version is also available.)
