While at tafe I never really had a good look at youtube videos, something I regret doing now. I have found some videos to be a great resource in understanding and remembering the fundementals of design.
Below is a video of interaction design which has been broken down into 3 parts. I found this easy to understand and will build on this knowledge.
Early last year I wrote an article on intuition. I went into some detail on what is intuition and how it is used on interface design. I will post the article on this blog at a later date.
The other day I was watching “Cloudy with a chance of meatballs” and this clip:
Although it is meant to be an amusing parody of what a first time might be like using a computer it might not be so far from the truth.
Even 23rd beings from the future who come back in time might not know how to use a computer.
There are a million ways to interact with products. The company mobile art lab have combined an old technology that users are familiar with, with a new technology the iphone. This allows for a interaction with books on a whole new level. A book no longer becomes static, the book allows interactive explanations for methods and theorys.
Currently the technology is being developed for children’s books but could have multiple uses in the near future. I’m excited by this type of technology and hope to see more of it in the future.
