Usability Quote of the Day

November 20, 2008

Software design is the act of determining the user's experience with a piece of software. It has nothing to do with how the code works inside, or how big or small the code is. The designer's task is to specify completely and unambiguously the user's whole experience. -- David Liddle, From Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996   (via interaction-design.org)

Cell Phone with Feeling

Now there’s a cell phone that features a very personal note: Siemens has launched the CX70 Emoty on the market, a phone that lets its owners express their emotions and communicate these feelings to friends. The mobile phone contains a several characters that the user can give a variety of moods with the push of a key. Integrated sensors then allow to control the intensity of the feelings conveyed by the three characters — Laura, Joey and Wobble. The 3D characters can express ten emotions, including happiness, love, sadness and anger. The sensors in the phone’s housing register when the phone is touched, when pressure is applied to it and when it’s shaken. (Via PhysOrg)
