Usability Quote of the Day

October 11, 2008

Despite the enormous outward success of personal computers, the daily experience of using computers far too often is still fraught with difficulty, pain, and barriers for most people.... The lack of usability of software and the poor design of programs are the secret shame of the industry -- Mitchell Kapor, From Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, Software Design Manifesto, 1996   (via interaction-design.org)

Sensitile - responsive material

"SensiTile is based on a patent pending set of new technologies that allows the material to become sensitive to changes in light intensity and color. Due to this ability a SensiTile system will respond to the movement around it by creating a dazzling set of ripples on its surface. The technology is completely passive in that it does not need to be powered but instead uses daylight and ambient light as its source of power."

OK, some interface designer should be able to think of a use for this technology ...
