And Then There Was Light…
Feb 27th, 2007 by Mike Bennett
Welcome to User Designer!
This is a new blog broadly covering topics in Human Computer Interaction and Interaction Design. With a specific focus on research, methods, tools and techniques that enable users to take control and shape their own user experiences.
In this blog I’ll (Mike Bennett) be exploring the futuristic implications of an individual centered adaptable and adaptive world.
In particular I’ll be looking for and writing about examples of malleable objects and spaces. Where everyone is able to pull, twist, and reshape objects to their individual needs and wishes. Ideally without requiring expert knowledge or skills.
The objects can be as simple as bean bags that remember your shape, or kitchen forks whose length and weight distribution can be easily altered by pulling on each end of the fork. Objects can be manifest as thought experiments, physical objects, virtual objects or any mixture of bits and atoms with a dose of digital smarts.
Enjoy – I’d love to hear of interesting examples you have created or stumbled upon…
