  3. Design excellence that I like in my mobile phone:

    • shake to light the flash/torch.
    • wobble to start the camera.
    • flip over to silence a ringtone.

  4. Restoring the elements of user experience

    Some human-centred practitioners have been consigned to increasingly superficial considerations. Artificial intelligence presents an opportunity for us to bring the focus back to the fundamentals that make our work important and successful.

  6. BMW's new X5 lacks door handles, offering touch-sensitive "fins" instead.

    These doors won't open if the power's out. Emergency responders lament how difficult it is to open these doors in a crash. And people struggle with grasping the mechanism. As the article's writer states, this is "funtional nonsense." Why, then, did this deeply flawed #InteractionDesign ship at all?!

  8. Wie malt man eigentlich Musik?
    Mit dem interaktiven Artefakt "Painting in C Major" von Frithjof Plath wird Papier zum Instrument. Sobald man das Metall am Pinsel berührt und mit wässriger Farbe malt, schließt sich ein Stromkreis und erzeugt Töne.
    Ein Mikrocomputer wandelt das analoge Signal in digitale MIDI-Befehle um, die per BLE an ein Instrument gesendet werden. Je nach Pinselposition entsteht ein ganz eigenes, gemaltes Musikstück!

  12. On my phone, while using Google Contacts app to enter someone's new telephone number, I chose this country code:
    🇨🇦 Canada

    After saving the edit, the app has changed the flag beside the country code:
    🇺🇸 Uni.ted Sta.tes

    That's a rather tone-deaf change of data that I intentionally entered, since Canada is pointedly not part of the Unit.ed S.tates.

    Coding decisions can be political and offensive.

  14. We are open for applications in the course of the call "Culture Moves Europe: Individual Mobility"!

    The deadline is really soon - tomorrow - so if you want to get a funded residency in Berlin up to two months which finances both your accomodation and our rental costs for the space, reach out to us ASAP or reshare to interested people 🍃

  15. One more detail: I've seen plenty of Cancel/Confirm dialog boxes for destructive actions in which the buttons' locations are reversed. That is extremely dangerous, because if the (destructive) Confirm button is now in the Cancel location, a user trusting their motor memory to instinctively hit the Cancel _location_ will actually trigger the Confirm _action_.

    Yup, #IxD (i.e., #InteractionDesign) is pretty straight-forward once you understand the thinking behind it. But it is never trivial.

  17. Nowadays, no one starts using a new tool by reading the instruction manual after unpacking. People start pushing buttons. Same for digital products. Orientation by buttons.

    #InteractionDesign thought experiment: If all text disappeared from your interface except from buttons, would it still be usable?

    User experience made the iPod.

    There were plenty of MP3 players on the market—memory sticks with a battery, a hole for a headphone jack, and some playback software, for a fraction of the cost.

  21. First Apple Glass didn't learn from Windows Vista. Now Apple's Tahoe icons didn't learn from … Apple.

    The issue is bigger than a mere disregard for the principles in the 1992 guidelines. It's that training for User Interface designers is nonexistent. As the old guard retires, untrained designers reinvent square wheels.

  22. Still more CSS work today, mostly around typography and contrast: monospace table styling, heading accents, and theme tokens to keep the interactive table UI and article content visually coherent.

    Frontend work always takes longer than expected, but this phase is finally starting to settle.

  23. Spent the evening fine tuning the typography and layout around an interactive element.
    If the surrounding page isn’t calm and predictable, the interaction feels harder, even when the logic is correct. #InteractionDesign #WebDesign #typography

  24. There’s a special place in hell for UI components that trigger a hover effect across the entire block, but only let you click a small fraction of it. Consistency, please!

  25. One Weird Choice That Makes Font Sizes Easy

    I am not a graphic designer or a musician. My wife, though, graduated summa cum laude with a BA in Music. She also has a bookcase full of graphic design, interaction design, and user experience design books I have largely ignored. She may not be surprised by what I learned today, but I was. Perhaps you will be pleasantly surprised, too. […]

  26. Y’all. I made this cute little animation to show that a link was successfully copied. I use it on my writing site.

    It’s not monumental, but I really like it. My son said it feels “very satisfying.”
