Hello again! It’s been a while since my last post, so I thought I should make this one worthwhile. I’ve stumbled across what might possibly be the most innovative and left field “improvement” made to the user interface and interaction design of the traditional 1′s and 2′s (DJ decks). Not very popular with the purists and professional DJs out there, however, although this may never take off it is nonetheless an amazing student project both brilliantly conceptualised and executed. Awesome.
A breath of fresh air! That’s what this website’s interface is! The typography is dynamite, it’s iPhone-like interface takes a minute to get used to but once the initial learning curve is overcome the site becomes a joy to explore. The agency’s work, also superb, does not get lost in the heaps of information and graphical elements scattered across the site. This site instantly became my new favourite from the second I got a glimpse of the first column! The second column is well worth the read too! Great stuff!! Click here to check it out.
Interactive Toy Blocks that think and interact with one another. David Merril is an MIT grad student working at Taco Lab. The Video from TED shows what toys in the future can do.
Penguin Books the latest publisher to jump aboard the very fast-rolling iPad bandwagon. They’ve bet heavily on the role of the iPad and its direct effect on the publishing industry and have made their feelings very well known with this video. I love the idea of allowing kids to interact with the new forms of media, but the iPad isn’t exactly the cheapest toy, that can be flung about like the good old fashioned book. Its interesting to see how future generations will be immersed in these technologies from such a young age, and it will be interesting to see how books take a back seat and become what vinyls are in todays digital music age.
This conceptual video is a corporate collaborative research project, Mag+, initiated by Bonnier R&D into the experience of reading magazines on handheld digital devices. It illustrates one possible vision for digital magazines in the near future.
They’ve nailed the user interface in my opinion. It’s simple, intuitive and extremely clever. Browsing between articles left to right, heating up to reveal contextual menus, love it! Read more about it here.
