When it comes to technology, 'look and feel' matters - advanced functionality is worthless if too complex to master; sleek design is pointless if it isn't also enjoyable to use. As our devices get more complex, the way we use them needs to become more intuitive.

Professor Andreas Dengel (Scientific Director, German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence) JP Rangaswami (Chief Scientist, BT Group) Maarten Lens-FitzGerald (Co-Founder, Layar) Kai Huang (Co-Founder, Guitar Hero) Moderated by Evan Davis (Presenter, BBC Radio 4 Today Programme) ***Please note that all the videos feature YouTube's new Captioning feature.
