Usability Quote of the Day

November 21, 2008

In the information age, as computers invade our lives and more and more products contain a chip of silicon, we find that what lies between us humans and our devices is cognitive friction, which is something new and something that we are ill-prepared to deal with. Our engineering skills are highly refined, but when we apply them to a cognitive friction problem, they fail to solve it. -- Alan Cooper, The Inmates are Running the Asylum, p. 92.   (via interaction-design.org)

Don't Forget: User Interfaces for Physical Spaces

Looks like a great event and a very nice case study is available now ...

"MAYA Design, in preparation for the User Interfaces for Physical Spaces event, has just published a fabulously detailed case study, annotated with copious illustrations.

It makes even clearer just how cool the workshop will be. The case study outlines their process, which we'll get to walkthrough in detail -- literally, as we make trips to the libraries before and after renovation.

I mean, where else have you seen people create information blueprints as companions to architectural blueprints?

The workshop takes place December 12, in Pittsburgh, PA. And, let's face it -- you're not getting any work done that close to the holidays! So use up that training budget before the end of the year and come join us!"   continued ...   (Via peterme)
