Start me up Monday “User Experience – Turning Technology into Products”

  • 07 November, 2022
  • FH Technikum Wien / Kl. Festsaal (F0.02)

A positive experience when using digital applications and services is one of the most important features for the success of a product and therefore also of a company.

Only when user experience is taken into account does digitization take place at all. Only through professional user experience does technology become a good product, and the product/market fit is significantly optimized.  At the same time, costs for rework and support, etc., as well as image cultivation and nerves can be saved – reasons enough to discuss the topic with experts from business and academia as well as alumni.

Start 5 pm:

  • Benedikt Salzbrunn: Activities around UX at the FH Technikum Wien and Technikum Wien Academy
  • Petra Morawa-Zechner: Green UX

Digitalization offers many opportunities in terms of climate change, but at the same time it also acts as a problem amplifier in some areas. The lecture explains why it is important to consider the energy efficiency of digital products in their conception, design and development and provides answers to the question whether environmentally friendly applications also lead to a better user experience.

Petra Morawa-Zechner is a freelance designer and graduate of the UX Management master’s program.

  • Verena Seibert-Giller: UX Psychology – Gamechanging Asset not only for Google & Co.

If the experience of the user* inside is put into the center, this can function only if one understands the user *inside also actually. Not superficially, but also their cognitive and perceptual abilities, limits and peculiarities. Because humans do not think and act as we generally like to assume! UX Psychology provides exactly the psychological knowledge that UX projects need – scientifically sound but presented in a pragmatic and application-oriented way.

This talk offers you a lightning insight into the importance and measurable assets UX Psychology has to offer – for economic success as well as safety and human life!

Dr. Verena Seibert-Giller is UX Psychologist & Human Behavior Specialist, independent entrepreneur as well as lecturer at the FH Technikum Wien and the Technikum Wien Academy.
