Eko light


When sitting a red light in New York, you know the light's soon to change when the "Don't Walk" symbols facing traffic perpendicular to you start flashing; with enough experience you can even time it so your car launches into motion at the exact instant the green light illuminates. We're not endorsing this as a safe practice, merely observing that this is common.

Design with Intent


From the layout of shopping malls to digital rights management, our everyday lives are full of examples of products, systems and environments which have been designed to shape, guide or control – influence – our behaviour, using a wide range of techniques: technological, physical or psychological.

Intended commercial benefit is a major reason behind this; intended social benefit can be too (though it’s often fraught with politics). Sometimes the behaviour-shaping is helpful to the user; sometimes it’s serving someone else against the user’s best interests. Sometimes it’s trying to get the user to do something; sometimes it’s trying to stop the user doing something.

The common factor to all of this is intent on the part of the designer/engineer/planner or his or her corporate/political masters. This is Design with Intent: strategic design that’s intended to influence or result in certain user behaviour.

IA Konferenz 2010, Köln

Service. Design. Thinking.

http://www.iakonferenz.org/de/2010/news.html

Die IA Konferenz 2010 am 14. und 15. Mai 2010 (Freitag, Samstag) bietet einen Querschnitt aktueller Ideen, Methoden und Fallbeispiele aus der Praxis der Informationsarchitektur.

Das diesjährige Motto der IA Konferenz spielt dabei auf eine Herausforderung an, vor die sich auch Informationsarchitekten immer wieder aufs Neue gestellt sehen: im Spannungsfeld zwischen Nutzerwünschen, Auftraggeber-Interessen, Budgetgrenzen und technischen Beschränkungen Nutzwerte zu schaffen, die für den Nutzer wirklich einen Unterschied machen, die als Innovation wahrgenommen werden und so die Marke des Produkt/Service-Anbieters nachhaltig stärken.

Was ist dazu außer Kreativität und einem ganzheitlichen Blick nötig? Die IA Konferenz 2010 bietet einen Einblick in die Strategien und Prozesse sowie den Techniken und Methoden solcher Anstrengungen zu "echter" oder auch subtiler Innovation und zeigt anhand von Fallbeispielen auf, welche Modelle zum Erfolg führen können. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf den gemeinsamen Methoden und Ideen, die im wachsenden Feld des „Service Design“ und der Methodologie des „Design Thinking“ zur Anwendung kommen.

A New Way to Search Images With Google Image Swirl

There's this branch in computer science and statistics for vision research. Normally, if you ever hear about it in the news it's in the context of spotting terrorists in security tapes or facial recognition checkpoints (you know, like what they have in movies in front of giant steel doors). That is of course not the only application.
