Eko light


When sitting a red light in New York, you know the light's soon to change when the "Don't Walk" symbols facing traffic perpendicular to you start flashing; with enough experience you can even time it so your car launches into motion at the exact instant the green light illuminates. We're not endorsing this as a safe practice, merely observing that this is common.

Design with Intent


From the layout of shopping malls to digital rights management, our everyday lives are full of examples of products, systems and environments which have been designed to shape, guide or control – influence – our behaviour, using a wide range of techniques: technological, physical or psychological.

Intended commercial benefit is a major reason behind this; intended social benefit can be too (though it’s often fraught with politics). Sometimes the behaviour-shaping is helpful to the user; sometimes it’s serving someone else against the user’s best interests. Sometimes it’s trying to get the user to do something; sometimes it’s trying to stop the user doing something.

The common factor to all of this is intent on the part of the designer/engineer/planner or his or her corporate/political masters. This is Design with Intent: strategic design that’s intended to influence or result in certain user behaviour.

Persuasives Web-Design. Jenseits von Usability und Konversion

IA Konferenz 2010, Köln

Service. Design. Thinking.

http://www.iakonferenz.org/de/2010/news.html

Die IA Konferenz 2010 am 14. und 15. Mai 2010 (Freitag, Samstag) bietet einen Querschnitt aktueller Ideen, Methoden und Fallbeispiele aus der Praxis der Informationsarchitektur.

Das diesjährige Motto der IA Konferenz spielt dabei auf eine Herausforderung an, vor die sich auch Informationsarchitekten immer wieder aufs Neue gestellt sehen: im Spannungsfeld zwischen Nutzerwünschen, Auftraggeber-Interessen, Budgetgrenzen und technischen Beschränkungen Nutzwerte zu schaffen, die für den Nutzer wirklich einen Unterschied machen, die als Innovation wahrgenommen werden und so die Marke des Produkt/Service-Anbieters nachhaltig stärken.

Was ist dazu außer Kreativität und einem ganzheitlichen Blick nötig? Die IA Konferenz 2010 bietet einen Einblick in die Strategien und Prozesse sowie den Techniken und Methoden solcher Anstrengungen zu "echter" oder auch subtiler Innovation und zeigt anhand von Fallbeispielen auf, welche Modelle zum Erfolg führen können. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf den gemeinsamen Methoden und Ideen, die im wachsenden Feld des „Service Design“ und der Methodologie des „Design Thinking“ zur Anwendung kommen.

Normally, if you ever hear about it in the news it's in the context of spotting terrorists in security tapes or facial recognition checkpoints (you know, like what they have in movies in front of giant steel doors).

GoodMorning! Full Render #2 from blprnt on Vimeo.


GoodMorning! is a Twitter visualization tool that shows about 11,000 ‘good morning’ tweets over a 24 hour period, rendering a simple sample of Twitter activity around the globe. The tweets are colour-coded: green blocks are early tweets, orange ones are around 9am, and red tweets are later in the morning. Black blocks are ‘out of time’ tweets which said good morning (or a non-english equivalent) at a strange time in the day. Click on the image above to see North America in detail (click on the ‘all sizes’ button to see the high-res version, which is 6400×3600), or watch the video below to see the ‘good morning’ wave travel around the globe:

The Stock Ticker as a Planetary System


"STOC is a data visualization of the S&P 500 from the NYSE programmed in Processing. Each circle in the visualization represents one of the stocks in the S&P, with characteristics of each visualizing different data points for each. There is a legend in the project that will explain the relationships between data and visuals, as well as a list of the controls for interactivity. In the very near future we will be posting a tutorial video as well as the podcast ACM recorded of my Siggraph presentation. The project currently runs between 20 and 30 minutes behind real time and locks up momentarily when it updates every 10 minutes, which we are working on fixing asap. The project requires an internet connection, but I am unsure of other system requirements. We will be optimizing newer versions, and I will be making a mailing list of everyone that contacts me to announce updates."

Adaptive Mobile Gaming: Scotland Yard - to go!

Many generations have been entertained by Ravensburger's "Scotland Yard" board game. As part of a programming lab students from the University of Bonn in cooperation with the game publisher Ravensburger Spiele and T-Mobile invented "Scotland Yard – to go!", the modern version where no longer figures are moved on the table but people interact in the real world chasing Mr. X.

The players are equipped with portable computer, a mobile phone and a GPS receiver. The GPS device provides the current location; the mobile is used for a connection to the internet. This enables to locate the accurate position of the detectives and also Mr. X in bigger intervals and on a map. The world is turned into one big game area.

The computer is not only a medium; it creates a whole new game experience since the game situation is adapted dynamically. For example when the player climbs on a bell tower not only his real sight is enlarged but also the virtual one in the game: The map will reveal more information about Mr. X position as before. This effect – "Adaptive Mobile Gaming" – is the outcome of several years of collaborative "Context Sensitive Intelligence" research between scientists from the University of Bonn and Telekom Laboratories in Berlin. The mobile game "Scotland Yard – to go!" which is developed by the students is now a demonstration of the possibilities this technology provides.

Create a Lifestream in Less than a Minute with Ident Engine

Today I came across an extremely impressive Lifestreaming demo that utilizes a new javascript library called Ident Engine. The library was built specifically for apps to provide the retrieval and or aggregate data across multiple web services. For the Lifestreaming demo, all you do is provide the URL for your profile on any of their 70 supported services and the script does the rest. It combs the web for additonal profiles and then creates a Lifestream and links to all the profiles it discovers in less than a minute.


Without much conscious thought, most of us have built identities across the web. We've filled in profiles, uploaded photos, videos, reviews and bookmarks. The Ident Engine uses semantic web API’s to bring together these web footprints.

As digital technologies become more embedded in everyday life, the line between the virtual and real is increasingly blurred. Delicate Boundaries imagines a space in which the worlds inside our digital devices can move into the physical world. Small bugs made of light, crawl out of the computer screen onto the human bodies that make contact with them. The system explores the subtle boundaries that exist between foreign systems and what it might mean to cross them.

in Bb 2.0 - a collaborative music/spoken word project



In Bb 2.0 is a collaborative music and spoken word project conceived by Darren Solomon from Science for Girls, and developed with contributions from users.

The videos can be played simultaneously -- the soundtracks will work together, and the mix can be adjusted with the individual volume sliders.
