Usability Quote of the Day

May 23, 2012

There's something very odd going on here. If designers made completely unrealistic assumptions about the physical world when designing technology, then we would blame them (and likely sue them) for technical incompetence. Yet when they make grossly unrealistic assumptions about human nature... we don't blame the designers, we blame the unfortunate people who are just trying to do what the design requires. -- Kim Vicente, The Human Factor, p. 45.    (via interaction-design.org)

Wacom announces 21-inch Cintiq

"Wacom has unveiled its next-generation high-end professional graphics tablet, the Wacom Cintiq 21UX.

The product combines full graphics tablet abilities with the added use of acting as a large format, high-resolution 21.3-inch display. It's also compatible with Wacom's Intuos3 range of tablets, so an Intuos can be used in conjunction with a Cintiq. Wacom describes its Cintiq as 'setting new standards for digital pen-based imaging'."

The company has also introduced a flat bezel around the screen, making for more natural hand and pen movement when drawing (as your hand doesn't hit the bevel). The product also carries an accurate ICC profile for colour management.
