Wunschfeld hält Vortrag an der FH Trier: „Kinetische Displays”
Intermedia Design Symposium zum Thema „Kinetische Displays”
Zusammenfassung:
Codierte Bewegung und die Sehnsucht nach Rhythmus.
Die Wahrnehmung kinetischer Displays aus der Sicht eines Tänzers/Interaction Designers.
Für Tänzer besteht die Welt aus Bewegung und Rhythmus. Der Vortrag untersucht den Ursprung von Rhythmus und den Prozess der Abspeicherung sinnlicher Erlebnisse im Körper. Als Erinnerung werden diese Erlebnisse bei der Betrachtung von Bewegung herangezogen und stellen einen konkreten Bezug zum betrachteten Subjekt/Objekt her.
Diese Wechselbeziehung stellt sich auch ein, wenn Bewegung durch Computer-Code künstlich erzeugt wird.

Persuasive Design by Daily Challenge
I am teaching a regular class in Interface Design. Inspired by the work of B.J. Foggs, PhD and his work with the Persuasive Technology Lab at Stanford U, I challenged my students to create persuasive interfaces.
Partially due to my own research, partially because of a client-project, I came across “Daily Challenge” by MeYou Health. Their approach to persuasive design intrigued me. Their research showed that “big resolutions” set people up to fail. Instead it is preferable to persuade people to perform one small healthy action every day. In theory the sum of small actions over time increases the overall well-being of a person. I decided to try it.

Update: Apple Tablet Scratch Gestures
UPDATE: Patenlyapple.com reported 2 days ago that Apple was granted a patent for a new flat keyless keyboard, revealing a new piezo-based acoustic and capacitive detection system. I find Apple's research into the area of translating sound into information really interesting.
From January 2010:
Super, super interesting and completely convincing! Yesterday's post on patentlyapple.com called "Apple: The Tablet Prophecies – Future Twists" posted a video by Chris Henderson - a third year Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University:

Die Entwicklung der digitalen Zusammenarbeit
Meine Studenten an der FH-Salzburg haben im Rahmen ihrer Master-Thesis „Sphera” einen sehr lesenswerten Blog ins Leben gerufen, der sich mit dem Thema „Die Entwicklung der digitalen Zusammenarbeit” befasst. Ich wurde gefragt, einen (Beitrag) zu verfassen.21.06.2010
Archiv: iOS4 – the Return of the Desktop Paradigm
On the desktop files have long been organized inside folders by content, date or project but rarely by file type. The transition to "apps" came slowly. Software packages like iPhoto and iTunes familiarized us with the concept of organizing files by file type. Instead of digging through contents inside deep folder hierarchies, photographs and media were now ALL in one and the same place, reliably organized in a database.
On the iPhone platform this concept was extended beyond file types to tasks. Instead of files and folders we got apps. While technically apps (programs) are still files, it doesn't seem like that to the user. Apps are perceived as small function clusters, not "files". Like precision tools they offer their services to complete a huge variety of tasks.

Augmented Reality based on FlarToolkit
A wonderful experiment in augmented reality.FLARToolkit makes this possible. It will detect the marker from an input image and calculate the camera position in the three dimension space. Really fun!

Light Bulb
Saw this beautiful artwork on todayandtomorrow.net. Back in June 2007 I wrote a post on wireless power conduction. The levitation of the lightbulb is new and magical.05.06.2008
Palmer/Obama
Life is truly immitating art. Would Senator Obama been able to win the democratic nomination without TV's "24"? It seems like a ridiculous question and yet, other blogs have been wondering about the same thing ("markmeynell", TV Blog "Remote Access").
In this article Dennis Haysbert says his role paved the way Barack Obama.

Service Efficienista
I've been buying my coffee at Starbucks for 15 years. I think that outs me as a fan of the company. Yesterday I strolled into Starbucks at Astor Place and was greeted by a member of the staff wearing a "Janet Jackson Mic". He asked for my order. I was bothered by the experience, because instead of looking at the face of the person greeting me, I stared at his microphone and wondered who he was talking to when he dispatched my caffein craving. I couldn't see his collegue at the receiving end. Instead of talking to me, his attention was with somebody "out there". Headphones indicate privacy, because we usually listen to something like music or a phone conversation.
The experience became technical and distancing, rather then personal. Since I associate Starbucks with hours of hanging out over a cup of coffee (and maybe a refill..). I wonder if other customers felt rushed as well. And what happens if you don't know which coffee drink you're in the mood for today?
A few years ago I helped creating the technical service scenario at the Prada Epicenter Store on Prince and Broadway in New York. My Job was building the user interface for the store's "staff device", a hand held computer that could do everything from reading RFID tags to pulling up stock information and customer history. In my opinion it was a gigantic flop, because nobody researched the experience of what it would actually feel like to use the device in a customer/sales rep relationship. I walked into the store many times over the years and talked to the people working there about the staff device. I watched them and not once did I see an employee using one.
We have to be very careful when adding technology to a sales scenario. The experience can be off-putting - at least to the customer.

Wireless Power Transfer at MIT
Yesterday technologyreview.com published an article about wireless power transfer. MIT researchers were able to transfer electricity wirelessly to make a lightbulb light up.
I would love to lead a cable free existence! No more bulky charger cables to bring along on vacation and to the office? I'm sold!
In the article Professor Peter Fisher, one of the researchers, said: "As long as the laptop is in a room equipped with a source of wireless power, it would charge automatically without having to be plugged in. In fact, it would not even need a battery to operate inside such a room."

Much To Do About Microsoft Surface
Microsoft's introduction of surface computing has caused a ruckus on the IxDa, which is the discussion board of the Interaction Design Association. There was a huge backlash on the product and I commented negatively as well. I was disappointed that already at the introduction of the product Microsoft had partnered with chain hotels and casinos to introduce the product to the public in the near future. It just shifted the focus from innovation toward selling the product. Many of the shown applications are lame like showing augmented information about the wine you are drinking right on the surface of the table...
