Mozilla Lab’s AURORA - THE FUTURE CONCEPT BROWSER.

What will browsing the web be like a decade from now?
Aurora is a concept video presenting one possible future user experience for the Web, created by Leading design and UI company Adaptive Path as part of the Mozilla Labs concept browser series. Aurora explores new ways people could interact with the Web in the future based on projected technological trends and real-world scenarios.Jesse James Garrett (the guy who coined the term AJAX) designed and narrated part one of a video series demonstrating what the future of the web might look like. There’s some gorgeous, imaginative, and high-tech stuff going on here

The release of Aurora is part of the launch of Mozilla Labs’ browser concept series, an ongoing initiative to encourage designers and developers to contribute their own visions of the future of the browser and the Web. Over the next couple of weeks, Adaptive Path will be releasing more video segments, as well as background material showing just what went into imagining the future of the Web and translating that into a video.

Informatics: Design, Build & Secure a Future in Technology

August 26, 2009 - 8:16 pm 7 Comments

Informatics majors put information to work to meet people’s needs.

The Informatics program at the University of Washington Information School develops students’ ability to design, build, manage and secure information systems. The program is divided into three degree concentrations:

- Human-Computer Interaction and Design
- Information Architecture
- Networks and Information urance

Students study how people use technology and how to build systems to meet those needs, incorporating human concerns such as privacy and ethics and fields like software development and network technology. By considering both the users and uses of technology, students learn to apply their knowledge to positively impact their communities and society.

The three degree concentrations allow students to develop the depth of skills and expertise they’ll use to obtain and thrive in their first job in the information field after graduation. Students are free to specialize in one concentration, or choose from among courses to develop a program based on their career and personal goals.

Graduates of the program typically apply the skills they develop in their roles as:

Usability engineers
Interface designers
Information architects
Network administrators
Web developers
Systems analysts
Web designers
Information urance professionals

The Application Cycle
Priority application deadline: April 15
