We are witnessing the birth of a new class of technology: pocket-sized devices with always-on broadband that understand who you are and where you are. With a technological and cultural revolution unfolding before our eyes\, how do interaction designers and agencies deal with such a quickly shifting landscape? What does leadership mean when there is a perceived lack of solid research\, UI best practices\, and industry mentors at your fingertips? James will bring some clarity to this area\, reflecting on her experiences designing successful interactions for a variety of devices.
