Wif, Interactive design international festival

Interactive design international festival29-31 May, Limoges, France

→ Organised by the Limousin Economic and Cultural Development Agency, Wif was created almost 10 years ago and will enjoy its 5th edition in 2012.→ For 3 days the Festival makes the regional, national and international (15 countries) ecosystem of interactive design converge in Limoges.→ Companies, professionals, researchers and schools share and explore the latest design innovations on topics addressing the major economic, cultural and social challenges of our time.Wif is:→ The ‘in’ Festival: meetings and design challenge.Participants find fuel for their vision, expertise and inspiration through conferences, workshops and round table discussions featuring renowned speakersThe Wif Design Challenge is a chance for competitors to imagine and produce tangible solutions to economic, cultural and social issues.→ The ‘off’ Festival, meanwhile, draws on initiatives led by Design and IT operators based in Limousin.

From web design to interactive design


→ The 2012 edition of Wif broadens its scopes to cover evolutions that change the practice of design in the digital era.→ Originally focusing on web design, Wif has been expanded to include interactive design, which encompasses all experiences performed beyond the browser: mobile applications and web, tablets, connected television, smartframes, connected objects...

What is interactive design?Interactive design is the creative activity focused on devising digital interactive products and services. The process entails formulating the way in which people, products and services dialogue with each other. This dialogue is reflected in the behaviour of products or services and rooted in the digital interface, object or environment. It involves physical and mental participation by the user.(Definition from the Petit dictionnaire du design interactif, 2010)

2012 Theme


Interactive design at the heart of economic, cultural and social innovationHow can interactive design respond to the contemporary challenges posed in the “digital society”? By integrating the user’s viewpoints into its process interactive design brings to tangible life innovative scenarios and uses that can change the way people think about education, access to culture, natural resource management, transport quality, health and so on. “An essential driver of economic and cultural exchanges”, interactive design is an ideas-generating force that can help society to evolve.

Key words: interactive design, interaction design, digital design, user experience, services design, game design, web design, user-centred design, interfaces, internet of things, innovation, social innovation, sustainable development

The 12 conferences

Conferences - theme 1: the stakes


What's the right thing to design?

We are all very familiar with the idea that design is still to a large extend understood as a function in a process 'to design the thing right' while we might agree that design is also a way to identify 'what is the right thing to design'. As we are entering a new renaissance, in a post-modern era, thanks to the digital, the complexity of opportunities in increasing, and projects requires new forms to animate various expertises and lead decision making. With a focus on innovation in unbeaten paths, we'll study design methods beyond user centred design, within the spectrum from applied research to speculative design and including various prototyping forms such as probing, narratives, generative tools, controversies mapping, brand and design DNA to foster invention and innovation. We'll take the talk further with an interactive session debating on various selected methods for specific situations.

Conferences - theme 2: innovation


The Next Step for Design: SocialEntrepreneurship

As designers are increasingly recognized as both thought leaders and the drivers of large-scale change, it's become evident that we've outgrown the traditional contexts of our work - as stewards of organizational change in large corporations, and as hired guns at consultancies. Entrepreneurship provides a third vehicle for design-driven change, yet designers have not traditionally explored this as a viable career path. In this talk, Jon Kolko will describe how a particular form of entrepreneurship - social entrepreneurship - is the new frontier for designers, and will provide illustrations of how a design led, double-bottom line, operationally self-sufficient company can create meaningful and deep impact.

Conferences - theme 3: the profession


The idea of affordance in interfaces

When we discuss his digital design business, we often talk to Yves Rinato about interaction and interaction design.“Personally I prefer the interface idea. I would like to discuss this subject in more depth during my address. When I consider interfaces I am ultimately seeking "what makes an interface".”As a representation, an interface demands actions, a method of appropriation. When a strong bond is created between the imaginary, the intention and the action of using, you can go beyond the interfaces graphic features, which become a mere tool of which the use is so well built in that it is completely absorbed by the result that it enables us to achieve.

* Affordance is a thing’s capacity to suggest how it should be used.

Avoiding digital drunkenness

Digital design often succumbs to successive bouts of digital drunkenness that confuse visions, proposals and analyses of the stakes. Dominique Sciamma intends to show that it is in designers’ interests to continuously break free of compliant and conformist thinking and practices in order to adopt disruptive processes borne of thinking that is just as disrupted.

Innovation through design: methodologies in times of crises

In France interaction is still viewed as the “suspicious guest” in the innovation process, the one that people distrust and the only one that is continually asked to justify its presence at the dinner table. Unsurprisingly, the current recession is giving legitimacy to all sorts of ‘quick, dirty and poorly put –together’ aberrations. Giuseppe Attoma intends to look at designers’ beliefs and sort out a methodological arsenal that is complicated, jargon-laden and sometimes dishonest (who has really seen this create called “user-centred design”?). He asks the following underlying questions: in a tense context, what are the best tools to use to genuinely place the issue of interactions between users and services at the heart of the innovation process?

Wednesday 30 May 20129.30am –11am





Do things really lie at the centre of the Internet of Things? Is the challenge really to connect things? Is this the right way of framing the question? What even deeper revolutions make this Internet of Things necessary and inevitable? Beyond incidental uses, what are the disruptions and interrogations that caused by the connection of a Thing to a network? What are the real difficulties?

The digital revolution is a major cultural revolution. It manifests itself as what Stéphane Vial calls a "phenomenological revolution" insofar as it shakes up our cultural outlook. In such conditions it falls to the digital design to offer individuals and populations new life experiences that, by dint of being are based on the specific and exceptional capacities of “computer matter”, can enable us to again take charge of the creation of our life style and future in a global context in which, as John Thackara put it, “we inevitably have to adapt to a sort of disorder " (in Azimuts, 31) unless we succeed in completing a "third industrial revolution" (J. Rifkin). In addition, Stéphane Vial will show that design is one of the extraordinary economic drivers of the digital revolution and that it gives form to our experience of existence. He will explain what he means by "the digital design effect", splitting into three fields : interaction design, web design and game design.

What role for user understanding in interaction design?

In the course of its still short history, interaction design has already turned several times to different ways of understanding digital products and services. Approaches borrowed from psychology, sociology and anthropology have bolstered designers’ way of doing things, with varying degrees of success in different eras and fields of application.This presentation will outline the role to be given to users and their understanding in interaction design projects.

How digital enriches game experience: emerging gameplays

Thanks chiefly to the emergence new game smartphones, new leisure practices have developed in recent years.The digital world features new tangible games and toys: augmented reality games, alternate reality games, tangible games, geolocated games, transmedia games, and so on. Etienne Mineur will retrace the background to the evolution of these new fun pursuits.

Design in the Age of Climate Change

Design in the Age of Climate Change is the title of a forthcoming book by Eli Blevis & Shunying Ann Blevis. The book targets awareness of what is happening in the age of climate change, the implications of what is happening for how the world will be different than it has been before, and how our view of design must also change. One theme—do less with design—proposes notions of sustainable design, especially in terms of ontological design both as means of mitigating and adapting to the effects of climate change. Another theme—understand more with design—focuses on meaning-making as a material of designing awareness in the age of climate change, especially with a focus on visual thinking as a primary tool of design. Yet another theme—transcend all with design—focuses on transdisciplinarity in design as a means of tackling the situations induced by the effects of climate change ahead, especially with a focus on learning. A final theme—balance all with design—focuses on the confluence of design and polycentrism as a response to the age of climate change specifically in the arenas of the sociotechnical and the socioentrepreneurial.

Digital design as a creator of value(s)

At the end of the 20th century, what was sold to us was based on merchant models of consumption in which value was no longer the wealth produced but rather was derived from brands, financialisation, marketing techniques and so forth.We now live in a world of permanent crises of many sorts - financial, ecological, political and, particularly, a deep crisis in terms of ‘what is on offer’. The digital revolution has spawned another modernity, based on information, relationships and the complexity that will shape the 21st century.In this environment, public, education and merchant models change because of other mutations. What models should be used to build new offers? What role will design play in this?

Surfing the breaking wave

Interaction design is the design of the structure, the tempo, and the sensorial qualities of our interaction with machines—and our interaction with each other through machines. More and more the qualities of the world we live in, both physical and virtual, are defined by digital designers like us. But we are still far from the subtlety of a building by Aalto or Wright; a world away from the complex intellectual and emotional response provoked by a film by Kurosawa, a novel by Proust, or the subtlety of a Shakespeare sonnet. We have mastered the basics of how to make our new technology work; it is remaking society before our eyes: where are we going to take it next?

Round table - theme 1: the stakes


The stakes of “digital” schoolingWhat ethical responsibility do designers have in terms of the use of digital tools for schools?

Pierre Moeglin rightly explains in the Educational industries that school has always been a market for the manufacturers of educational products, publishers, etc. However, since the 20th century there has been a rapid proliferation of designers, developers and manufacturers of digital educational tools, to such an extent that selecting by quality and quantity has become very complex for schools. In the face of new public policies, local authorities, ITC project leaders and digital technology manufacturers, educational issues are sometimes the last consideration.It is sometimes forgotten that when designers devises the functionalities and graphic/material interfaces for a digital tool intended for us in education, they have an ethical responsibility to the child, who will have to experience this learning in a particular way, largely determined by the designers. This round table discussions aims to look at the direct educational consequences of ethical choices made by designers, as reflected in products for learning to read, write, etc.

Designing and developing multi-screen web applications

When it comes to mobility, new technological possibilities emerge as quickly as new uses develop: geolocation, social networks, m-commerce, augmented reality, mobile payment, etc. The quality of the application becomes the distinguishing component. But how can you offer an attractive and innovative user experience while keeping development and roll-out costs under control?This workshop will introduce you to two processes for making multi-screen web applications - responsive web design and hybrid development with PhoneGap. You will have an opportunity to get concrete experience by developing mini-applications.

Digital eco-design: processes and objectives

Eco-design and digital issues are complex because they relate to machines themselves – in the material part o f the thing (raw materials, manufacturing processes and end of life) – and also to their uses and implications. For the designer, producer and user, they pose questions regarding the social dimensions of things and their positive or negative externalities, which are sometimes hard to quantify. Mapping the various stages and their interactions makes it possible to undertake a systemic process for viewing digital products in terms of sustainable development issues.

Valorising and protecting the design creations and methods

Without protection it is difficult to valorise creations (risk of dilution). Paola Gelato and Séverine Redon will propose a three-strand approach to this workshop, looking at: creations and protection methods; exercising protection; and valorisation. They will explore answers to the following questions: what protection method(s) – copyright, design protection, unregistered community design or unfair competition - is (are) best for each creation (product, packaging, motif, interactive design, space design, service design, etc.)? How can you make commercial gain from your creations (franchises, royalties, direct selling)? What contracts can be considered?

Workshops - theme 2: methodologies and innovation


Urban areas – digital practices for sensitive cities

Digital development has made cities augmented, connected and mobile spaces and platforms of technological innovations. The development of services and mapping for identifying the various uses and people using them makes the urban space transparent. How can invisibility be created amid this transparency? How can these technologies be harnessed to offer new urban practices and a sensitive approach to the public space? Using these questions as its starting point, La Fracture Numérique offers a workshop in which participants are invited to concoct urban and digital devices around 7 pre-chosen symbolic sites in Limoges, thereby creating an imaginary course for the duration of the Festival.

Open Data : the stakes for design

The recent opening of public data in France has not yet led to the general public appropriating it and appreciating the social, political and cultural stakes. As a result, although the data is now open, it is often mute. The presentation will show the forms in which data is currently presented, enabling greater understanding of the position of designers on the issue.

Introduction to interaction design

The goal of this workshop is to address the basic principles that apply to any interaction design project.Interaction design is a method of creating a digital product, environment or service. What makes this method distinctive is the particular attention devoted to orchestrating dynamic behaviours. These behaviour structure the dialogue been humans and the digital system and they change according to context and time.Participants will look at concrete cases and follow them all the way through to resolution, taking in all the key steps en route, including qualitative research, personas, scenarios, conceptual frameworks, storyboards, wireframes, prototypes, usability tests and documentation.

Designing and developing multi-platform mobile application

The emergence of smartphones and tablets has been accompanied by the birth of a new generation of applications that must work across several platforms. Developers of applications must overcome new technical challenges if they are to offer rich interfaces and experiences on all of these devices. They also have to re-consider interaction methods (multi-touch, sensors, accelerometers, etc.). The varying screen resolutions and densities make this task tougher. In the course of this workshop you will discover how Adobe technologies make it possible to tackle these issues and develop multi-platform applications for mobiles and tablets.

HTML5 Websocket

HTML5 WebSockets are a new standardized interface for continuous, bi-directional, low-overhead communications between browsers and servers. This will enable the development of a new generation of dynamic, browser-based web applications. WebSockets are receiving interest and support from across the Web development community. Most modern browsers (for example, Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari) support WebSockets."Reducing kilobytes of data to 2 bytes and reducing latency from 150ms to 50ms is far more than marginal. In fact, these two factors alone are enough to make WebSocket seriously interesting to Google." —Ian Hickson (Google)This workshop is an ideal way for developers to quickly get up to speed on the WebSocket standard. We do this by working our way through the development of various WebSocket applications.

Facilitation and innovation games for agile product design

Quality facilitation is one of the keys to innovation and the success of many collaborative workshops (vision, design, change, etc.) with developing products and services. Innovative games (Speed Boat, Product Vision Box, Remember the future, Buy a feature, etc.) are at the heart of a new agile dynamic and, along with a host of facilitation exercises, breath new life into product design, making it more fun, collaborative and engaging. This workshop is an ideal chance to discover and implement some of these new techniques.
