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)

eMoto emotional messages

Conveying emotion thrugh narrow channels ...

"eMoto - a joint project between The Swedish Insitute of Computer Science and Stockolm University - is a mobile messaging service for sending and receiving affective messages. The application extends on both the input and output channels when sending text messages between mobile phones.

The aim is to convey more of the emotional content through the very narrow channel that a text message otherwise provides. In eMoto users therefore use affective gestures to convey the emotional content of their messages which are then translated and communicated in colors, shapes and animations."   continued ...   (Via textually.org)
