Maggie Hendrie is a professor and department chair of Graduate and Undergraduate Interaction and Graduate Media Design Practices at ArtCenter College of Design. She is also a co-director of ArtCenter NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology’s Data Visualization Program. This brings computer science and design students together with researchers and engineers to develop interactive visualization tools.
Hendrie has more than 20 years of experience in new interactive product/service strategy, digital product design, project management, user-centered design and usability and user experience testing. In 2004, she founded Sony Pictures Entertainment’s User Experience Competency Center and, as director, was responsible for working with divisions worldwide to integrate usability, information architecture and interaction into Sony devices and cross-platform projects. Prior, she was creative director for user experience at Whittman-Hart/MarchFirst, director of client solutions at Caresoft, strategy director at Manifest Digital and senior user interface designer at CyberMedia. In addition, Hendrie consults for numerous clients, including venture capital investors, Toyota, Kaiser Permanente and Accenture.

She received her MA in liberal arts from the University of Edinburgh, her MS in communication and information sciences from the Sorbonne Nouvelle University and her DEA in multimedia design and communication from the University of Paris VIII.
Functional connections within the brain can be revealed through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which shows simultaneous activations of blood flow in the brain during response tests. However, fMRI specialists currently do not have a tool for visualizing the complex data that comes from fMRI scans. They work with correlation matrices that table what functional region connections exist, but they have no corresponding visualization.
This paper outlines and evaluates experiential prototyping for emerging vehicle UX design within a pedagogical framework. Drawing from studio experience, we discuss the learnings, options and risks that in-vehicle UX designers face in prototyping realtime, adaptive user interfaces, and suggest methods and solutions for designers wishing to expand their creative practice.
Automakers are putting the owner’s manual online and onscreen, knowing today’s drivers are unlikely to read the print version.
“Interaction designers must be prepared not only for multidisciplinary projects and work environments but for a medium that can range from gestural sensor-driven networks to gameplay and wired cities.”
