Sound in UX: Are we designing enough for it?

Hello Everyone! We hope you’ll join us for the 2nd UX Salon Halifax meetup of 2020. Clearly this year has not gone as anyone expected and, like most groups, we have adapted by going virtual. One silver lining of a virtual event is that we can easily have guest speakers from further away. For this meetup, we welcome Lucas Lacerda, a UX Sound Designer from Ottawa, to talk to us about the importance of sound in UX design practice. Lucas studied Industrial Design and has worked as a Product Designer, Graphic Designer and UX Designer. He is also a musician with a passion for sound. He brought that passion to the healthcare industry where he designs soundscapes that improve health worker and patient experiences by addressing the persistent problem of noise and alarm fatigue in medical settings. Lucas has shared his knowledge of UX sound design through presentations, workshops, and university courses. We’re excited for him to bring his expertise to Halifax with the talk "Sound in UX: Are We Designing Enough For It?" Itinerary 12:25 PM - 12:35 PM: Attendees arrive virtually (on Zoom). 12:35 PM - 12:45 PM: Announcements by Juliana Kroscen 12:45 PM - 1:10 PM: Lucas […]

Solving Big Problems Fast with Parallel Computing

Parallel computing is the business of breaking a large problem into tens, hundreds, or even thousands of smaller problems which can then be solved at the same time, possibly on more than one computer. It can reduce processing time to a fraction of what it would have been, or enable you to tackle larger, more complex problems, or both. It’s widely used in big data mining, AI, time-critical simulations, and advanced graphics such as augmented or virtual reality. It’s used in fields as diverse as genetics, biotech, geographic information systems, computational fluid dynamics, medical imaging, drug discovery, and agriculture. During this talk, we’ll discuss: • The concepts around parallel computing • Opportunities for applying it • Where it works well, or not • Some of the challenges and considerations when thinking about applying it • How to assess whether your code is parallelizable If your computer is bursting at the seams to run your analyses, if you wonder “Is there a way to get these results faster?”, or if you have thought “we could do this better with more computing power”, this session will be of interest to you.
