题目：Researching and Designing Products for Traders
为促进贸易的产品设计和研究
This senior studio was run as a two-semester course that examined the future of the trading environment at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). The University of Illinois Chicago's Industrial Design program worked with the CME's Center for Innovation on the design of products that facilitate trading in the year 2010. This year long course involved the collaboration of a unique set of participants ? a university-based Industrial Design program, graphic design assistance, a prominent local industry (The Chicago Mercantile Exchange), and computer science consultancy for assistance with emerging technologies research. This joint studio effort touches on the links between industrial and interaction design, applications of emerging technologies to designed products, and provides a case study for the burgeoning field of design research.
The student-designers performed research within the trading floor environment, researched emerging technologies, and applied this learning to the design of three products. These products are designed to work together as an overall trading system in order to facilitate the most efficient trading environment.
