Information is tricky stuff. We talk about it a lot, but what do we mean when we do? And how does something so abstract turn into tangible experiences for users? This talk is about how we can think about experiences as environments, made of different modes of information. We'll see some examples of how these modes affect the user experience, and learn a framework for thinking about design problems, regardless of channel, device, or flavor.
