Usability Quote of the Day

January 6, 2009

The prevailing computer-human interaction (CHI) model of interface design has been partly responsible for the current state of the desktop computer. The breakthrough on which the field emerged was the admission of psychological principles. The resulting graphical user interface has been the focus of the field of computer-human interaction for nearly 20 years. This interface is a virtual control panel whose design has remained quite technology-centered. -- Malcolm McCullough, Digital Ground, 2004   (via interaction-design.org)

Flexible displays finally a reality? Enter Bio-nanofibers

"Kyoto University, Pioneer Corporation, and Rohm Corporation announced on the 25th that they have developed new technologies intended for use in flexible displays. There are two new technologies: a 'bio-luminescent transistor,' an organic transistor with EL luminsense, and a 'low heat expanding transparent substrate,' through reinforcement of the original bio nanofibers.

An application for these results is that it is now possible to create display devices that are light, flexible, hard to break, and can display on curved surfaces. Some sample tangible applications include flexible displays for mobile devices, electronic paper/newspapers, and electronic posters."
