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)

Navitime Japan has added aerial photo maps to its personal walking/car route-finder mobile phone app. For better precision, it features real shapes and scenery as well as high-res and low-altitude (rather than satellite) pictures.

Traffic jam information can also be displayed live. Maps can be scrolled, zoomed in and rotated like the vector maps.

Now that's a display ,,,
