IxD Meet-up at UVU

Add to your calendar:

Hi IxDF Salt Lake City/Orem, let’s meet up and network! You’ll have a chance to meet IxD students in the Digital Media program and participate in our fall semester VR/Mixed Reality experience night. We’ll focus on learning about the fast evolving ‘Spatial Design’ by using a variety of headsets, including our newly arrived Microsoft HoloLens 2 - a don’t miss opportunity to glimpse future challenges in UX.

We’ll also have time to share design insights, suggest resources, discuss UX problems we are all facing in these challenging times, or just chat about anything else that comes to mind. It’s going to be an informal, cozy meetup at Utah Valley University in our UX Design Lab, with fellow designers who think Utah is a great place to live and work. Join us!

    Meetup Update: We have a few folks that would like to attend, and that’s a good thing, as I wanted to meet some of the local IDF members; however, after only one full day of fall semester, Covid policies are running rampant. So, as a precaution to not run afoul of any potential issues I have decided to postpone the event until I can surmise how we can properly allow off-site visitors on campus and not bring down h3e wrath of Kahn upon us. I apologize for any inconvenience this may pose for adjusted schedules. We’ll reschedule. If you have any questions or requests for Spatial Design, please send my way > Michael.harper@uvu.edu

    Sorry for the late update. Yes, it’ll be on the UVU Orem Campus, in the Computer Science Building and the Digital Media Department program - Interaction & Design program. We’ll provide the directions and parking instructions soon. Also, the goal is to introduce the community to our IxD Collaborative (student-driven organization) and how our students can be a fantastic resource across industry.

    I guess one item I can ask, what focus would the community like to address at the event? We’re open to change ours if another is of greater need. One option we have is to showcase UX/IxD in VR and Mixed Reality environments as we begin to explore this area deeply. Options…

What is an IxDF Local Group and why should I join one?

An IxDF Local Group is a meeting point for people with a passion for design in your city.

You don't need to be a designer, just passionate about great design and how it can improve your work and career.

Meetups are the heartbeat of IxDF Local Groups, whether we meet at a café, a creative space or a local company. There's nothing quite like the magic of meeting face-to-face to share ideas and inspiration.

We also host regular IxDF Design Dinners, where we enjoy great food and help each other learn and grow. Even a simple coffee meetup in a café can ignite collaborations and friendships that last a lifetime.

You'll also have a private and exclusive online forum where you can openly get help and career advice.

Simply put, we learn together and smile together.
