What is TechEase?
TechEase is first ever workshop in India to bring together technology and design students to enable them look through each others’ perspective to understand Usability and User Interface Design, and help them design the most user friendly interfaces for applications and devices we use in day-to-day life.
Usability is all about doing the best designs for user interfaces of computers, appliances, mobile communication devices, software applications, and websites, so that users are able to enjoy their experience and interaction with such devices.
The primary notion of usability and user interface design is that an object designed with a generalized users' psychology and physiology in mind is, for example:
More efficient to use—it takes less time to accomplish a particular task
Easier to learn—operation can be learned by observing the object
More satisfying to use

Speakers are some of the world class experts from Microsoft, Cordys, Convergys, etc.
Participants will leave with exciting new ideas, practical to-do lists, and the knowledge to create better designs!

Students in the final or pre-final year of engineering, architecture, or design.
