DESCRIPTION:Gayle Curtis\, MS\nUX Design Consultant\n\nAbstract: When we lo
 ok at the drivers of effective innovation\, we see two complementary theme
 s emerging: First\, new technologies or methods that open the way to new s
 olutions\, and second\, new insights or experiences that yield a better un
 derstanding of the problem. With a design thinking approach\, we begin by 
 building empathy with the user and the situation\, then we use ideation\, 
 prototyping\, and iteration to explore\, formulate\, and test solutions.\n
 \nIn this class session we will look at ways to gain understanding of user
  needs\, goals\, and values around a problem\, as well as the constraints 
 and requirements of the situations around them. One goal for this session 
 is for students to identify a set of questions to explore through intervie
 w and observation with real users of assistive technologies. Teams may als
 o get some good ideas about the people they might approach for both inspir
 ation and insight.\n\nBiosketch: Gayle Curtis is a UX design consultant in
  the San Francisco Bay Area\, specializing in user interface architecture 
 and design strategy for online ventures and interactive products. Recently
  he was Principal Interaction Designer at Yahoo!\, where he also developed
  a practice area in strategic ideation and disseminated it through worksho
 ps in the US and Asia. At Stanford he has held Lecturer appointments in Hu
 man Computer Interaction (CS) and Product Design (ME). Gayle is a graduate
  of the MS Engineering Product Design Program at Stanford.\n\nPerspectives
