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)

World Usability Day Events girdle the Earth

Worldwide participation for Usability Day ...

"The first World Usability Day takes place tomorrow, 3rd November. It was created by Usability Professionals’ Association (UPA) 'to help everyone know more about the ways to help create a better user experience of our world'.

There is a rolling series of events for the 36 hours of the day as it stretches from Australasia, China and the Philippines to a session at the DUX 2005 (Designing for User Experiences) conference in San Francisco. The World Usability Day webpages include three ways to find out what is going on:

* On an interactive map
* In the hour-by-hour guide to all 36 hours
* Alphabetically by country (linked below)"   continued ...   (Via )
