When Larry Tesler came to Apple in 1980 from Xerox Palo Alto Research
Center, he introduced user interface testing to the Lisa project. Only
recently did Larry learn that Chris Espinosa had conducted Apple II
user interface testing a couple of years earlier. This program will
review the story of early user interface design at Apple, up to 1984,
for the Apple II, the Lisa, and the Mac.
Larry and Chris will be presenting original internal Apple memos and
drawings from the period which have not been shown previously in
public. A historic videotape will also be shown of actual Lisa user
interface testing, among the earliest such tests at Apple. This program
is free and open to the public.
In 1980 Larry Tesler managed applications software and user interface
design for the Lisa division, and later became VP and Chief Scientist
at Apple. He is now president of Stagecast, a K-12 software startup.
Chris Espinosa started working at Apple at the age of 14, bicycling
over after school to do the weekly Apple II demos. He later worked on
the original Mac design team, and recently has managed the Media Tools
group at Apple.
