Information Architecture for All the Senses

2019 IA Conference /

Time(s)

March 23, 2019
12:00 PM to 12:45 PM CT

Location

Peninsula 2-3

Description

Although humans have many senses—between 9 and 33, not just five—we design primarily for just one sense: vision. How does activating multiple senses create richer experiences? And how can designers use this to create more meaningful and memorable interactions? This talk explores a few frameworks that help us think beyond vision and nudges us to understand embodied cognition. We’ll explore a few frameworks and how you might incorporate whole body thinking in your next project.
