Cross-cultural user-experience design for work, home, play, and on the way

Abstract

User interfaces for mobile, desktop, Web, and vehicle platforms reach across culturally diverse user communities, sometimes within a single country/language group, and certainly across the globe. If user interfaces are to be usable, useful, and appealing to such a wide range of users, userinterface/user-experience developers must account for cultural aspects in globalizing/localizing products and services. In this tutorial, participants will learn practical principles and techniques that are immediately useful in terms of both analysis and design tasks.
