PRINCETON, NJ November 6. (UsabilityNJ)
When you cant use a product, who you gonna call? UsabilityNJ, the local chapter of the Usability Professionals Association, for one. When youve got a great innovation, where you gonna go? As the Governor might say, New Jersey Usability Day, where the theme is New Jersey Innovations Make Life Easy.
Governor Jon S. Corzine has proclaimed November 14, 2006 as New Jersey Usability Day. The State now joins the growing list of over 150 locations around the world where local events are showing everyone how to improve products and services for life and work. This second annual World Usability Day promotes every customers right to ask for things that work better.
Explains UsabilityNJ President and New Jersey resident, Dr. Yihsiu Chen, usability engineering is the science and art that makes innovations practical, easy to use, and valuable to companies and customers. Usability engineering is a part of our States heritage of innovation.
We thank the Governor for helping us, said Dr. Yihsiu Chen. This event brings together professionals in human factors, engineering, and computer science to meet with students, innovators, and the business community. Along with our customers, we all have a stake in delivering the full value of New Jersey innovations to the marketplace.
