Today is the 3rd day at IIT Mumbai, attending the course on HCI (Human Computer Interface), its been quite interesting course, I am learning lot of new stuffs (some boring though).
Ulhas, Vinu, Yogesh, Srinivas and myself have come over here, this is a 10 day course from July 3rd to July 13th.
The travel from Bangalore to Mumbai in Deccan airlines was an experience to remember, the travel is cheap in Deccan but also scary, the landing was so bad that it scared the shit out of us and there were few women folks who were praying for a safe landing, I would think twice again before flying in Deccan again. Srinivas threw up due to the landing (this was apprarently his first flight).
Professor Anirudh Joshi is the person who is handling the course.
First 2 days have been learning about the concepts, CI - Contextual Inquiry, 5 sutras of Interview (interviewing the users is one of the most important aspects of the entire usability design process).
We went around the IIT campus scouting for people to interview for the Home accounting software project we have choosen, our hit ratio has been 2:3, both the person we interviewed were pretty friendly and gave us lot of input, we are supposed to interpret the interview and find out Key Observation, Insights, Design data, etc.....
In the evening it gets quite boring as we do not have much to do, but from tomorrow we have decided to explore the surrounding areas...
