February 6, 2012

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)

And you thought that cell phones created a cognitive distraction to driving ...

"This is a 16:9 High quality TFT LCD car monitor. It is perfect for viewing DVD movies, playing video games, and connecting to GPS, camera, or radar car backup system etc.

While driving, the monitor can be turned off and it acts just like a standard rear view mirror. When it is connected to the backup camera, the mirror will switch to rear video mode automatically when the car is in the reverse gear. This monitor includes a backup camera so you can view the back of the car clearly through video to avoid accidents. Of course, there is a video input for watching DVDs, movies, etc." continued ...
