Use8 – the Brighton based User Experience Society launched its first event called “Beyond the screen” last Friday 30th of November to explore how people experience Interactive Outdoor Technologies.

“Beyond the screen” was part of the Brighton Digital Festival. The festival, runned throughout November and offered new and exciting opportunities for artists, designers and technologists to examine their converging worlds by collaborating, sharing and showcasing their talent.
Our event was a success with over 80 people – students, academics and professionals – sharing knowledge. Speakers from leading digital companies presented their current research, technology and case studies on how to engage users in an outdoor interactive campaign, the role that external environment plays in creating user experience, and relative marketing implications.

The Society has been founded by di8it with the collaboration of Beepurple – the business services from the University of Brighton. Use8 aims are to promote user experience design and to bring together people who are interested in this discipline.
