Reboot 9: Matthias Müller-Prove



Matthias Müller-Prove is a computer scientist, and working as a User Experience Engineer & Interaction Designer for StarOffice and OpenOffice.org. He is giving a talk about "A Duel between Desktop and Web".

He and I talk about:

  • his interest in the history human computer interaction

  • the short summary of his thesis

  • books from the cellar

  • Douglas Engelbert's demo

  • we do not reinvent - earlier interaction designers had it easier because there was no need for backward compatibility

  • general environment of web application is not seen in a holistic way

  • computer system should empower the user!

  • desktop environment is not improved anymore, web people do not have the big vision and do not get out of the boundaries of the browser - both are crippled

  • the problem of different OS and the different ways to work with them

  • there is no consistent global guideline for all kind of devices - www to mobile to consoles

  • stay in first life and empower it!

About

female. european. geek.

About Nicole Simon I love working with people and help them get successful, especially through the use of social software. Though I have been on the net for over a decade and have consulted SMB for years, I also understand the corporate side, as I have worked in a major corporation for 15 years.

If you need a name for what I do, I usually call myself a European New Media Specialist with a special interest in blogging, podcasting and second life. I also love to 'testdrive' products / concepts which is best described as Technology Implementation Analyst.

You can read more about me on my Xing profile or contact me for more information.

When I do interviews (mainly pre conference podcasts I put them up here: Bloxpert so I can seperate blog / podcast talk a bit more from the stuff here.

Useful Sounds is my personal podcast, and I also have a German blog. Living in Lübeck, Germany, a European point of view comes with everything.



Why ctbk? Smooth-tongued responses are for the timid ones, and if there are no challenges, there is nothing to gain either. :)
