5 Lessons From The Best Interaction Designs Of #2011 - #design http://bit.ly/v1cA0Z

Technologies like cheap sensors and cloud computing are increasingly being used to augment our daily lives in both magical and mundane ways. Everything we do is an app in the making (a million and counting). But in this environment we are also developing a new sensitivity to the thin line between enrichment and annoyance. Which is why interaction design continues to gain prominence as the discipline with the greatest potential to maintain our sanity in this brave new world of distraction...

RUN exec.bat How did we get from there to here? - Susan Kare, The Pioneer Who Created The Mac's Original Icons http://bit.ly/sxx8xq

Point, click. The gestures and metaphors of icon-driven computing seem so natural and effortless to us now that it seems strange to recall navigating in the digital world any other way. It's not unusual to see a child who is barely old enough to read take an iPad in hand and instinctively know how to use it.
Until Apple's debut of the Macintosh in 1984, however, most interactions with computers--outside of Doug Engelbart's lab at Xerox PARC, where the graphical user interface was born--looked more like this:
C:> RUN autoexec.bat
How did we get from there to here?
The genius of Steve Jobs and the Macintosh team was recognizing a huge untapped market for home computing among artists, musicians, writers, and other creative folk who might never have cared enough to master the arcane complexities of a command-line interface. The challenge of designing a personal computer that "the rest of us" would not only buy, but fall crazy in love with, required input from the kind of people who might some day be convinced to try using a Mac. Appropriately, one of the team's most auspicious early hires was an artist herself--Susan Kare, who created the...

when creating a page to tell someone's life story, you have to throw out the UI rulebook. Designers behind fb timeline http://fastcodesign.com/166....

For most of computing history, interfaces have been about function. Word processing programs help you compose documents. Banking websites help you make transactions. Sites like Flickr help you display and share photographs.

But Facebook’s Timeline (the new version of the user profile which is slated to be released to the general public “in the next few weeks”) wanted to do something more: It wanted to convey a feeling. Two feelings actually: The feeling of telling someone your life story, and the feeling of memory--of remembering your own life.

If Facebook had simply had utilitarian goals in mind for its new profile, like “Help me identify what happened in 2008,” designing Timeline would have been simple. It could have created a...

The way we navigate the environment and operate devices using our touch sense, the current way of inputting data in the form of touch interfaces is limited to our comprehension of interface, ie seeing the available options and using our fingers to control the flow of...
