Usability Quote of the Day

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)

Use Your iPhone With Your Gloves On

Making the iPhone even more usable ...

"A new 'patch' for the iPhone. Because they lack a thumb and index finger, the Etretouchy gloves let you - finally! - use the iPhone while wearing gloves. Imagine that: both warm hands and that warm fuzzy feeling of interacting with your iPhone. I do presume the gloves work on other mobile phones as well; on my previous phone, with a regular keyboard, sending an sms with your gloves on was pretty much impossible. And that you might look somewhat ridiculous while wearing them, ah, we'll take that for granted (remember, somehow Uggs became cool too!). And admittedly, they have a certain cute-factor: even despite all Etre's shameless self-promotion for this product on their blog (which is excellent by the way), we couldn't resist mentioning them."    (Continued via uselog.com)    [Usability Resources]
