:: About 3AD

Appliance Design is a new discipline of product design that cuts the historical ties from desktops, PDAs and web pages to create a set of principles for radically simple information appliances. The AD conferences create a dialogue between appliance design disciplines – including product and industrial design, information design, interaction design, technology innovation and research in human-centered studies – which will help those disciplines re-establish themselves in a new context and so drive forward innovation in an industry where users will increasingly assert their demand for products that fit into their daily lifestyles.
:: programme

Previous conferences - 1AD in 2003 and 2AD in 2004 - were attended by over 300 researchers and developers from around the world, presenting papers, posters, demonstrations and design exhibits at three-day meetings at HP Labs, Bristol UK.

This year’s 3AD conference aims to encourage the maximum engagement and discussion, and will feature an Appliance Bazaar, Design Colloquia with two leading designers, and an International Design Competition with a prize of £2,500 for the winner.
