What this presention is not?—
This presention is not......a manual nor a tutorial nor a how-to guide
...a scientific treatise of any sort
...trying to convince you about anything
...an indoctrination nor the ultimate truth
What this presentation is?—
This presentation is......a report on my impressions of technology and design
...just a bunch of loosely connected thoughts
...mostly my own visions, opinions and advices
...hopefully thought-provoking for others
...nevertheless a "told-you-so" reference for me :)The purpose of a designer—
“Create a controlled environmentto make the user's life easier.”
How to actuallyachieve that?—
Designers have to be users.
Designers have to be early users.
Designers have to be the creators andearly users at the same time.
Designers have to experimentwith the bleeding edge technology!
The geek artist
Is this “the new thing” ?
Tim's Vermeer,the geek
Still have doubts?
A friend of Penn & Teller
has made a great discovery about
the great dutch painter Vermeer
Was he an artist?Was he a cheater?
He was a hacker.He was a designer.
Bleeding edge today:HW & SW combined—
Designers should participate in and
experiment with these technologies:
3D printing
Smart wearables
Internet of Things (IoT)
Virtual Reality (VR)
Bill Moggridge case:The GRiD Compass—
Designing the first laptop ever
and facing the consequences.
This was almost35 years ago!
Simplicity has to die—
We are not designing “simple” objects anymore
Simplicity always have hidden costs:Comfort vs. Speed/Efficiency and/or Loosing Control
Teach your users complex use-cases!Stop the “dummification”!
Neither oversimplified nor overcomplicated!
The only problem is...No one ever taught designershow to do these things
Virtual and/orAugmented Reality—
A second layer on our world.
Soon enough it will bean essential layer.
Give it enough time andit will be the ultimate layer.
This is just thetip of the iceberg!
Not yet fully discovered,tons of potentials—
It is something, where we can be the creatorsand one of the earliest users at the same time.
We can, and at some point we have to create worlds!Even creatures and life itself!
Can you imagine the complexity of it?
How is it different than the“low-cost 3D printer revolution”?—
Even at this “early” stage it is awesome.
Supported by huge companies support.
Supported by the whole game industry.
Needs way more skills to build one,cheap replicas are hardly possible.
The era of amazinglow cost devices—
You don't have to, but you can build anything.
You don't have to, but you can control anything.
As a designer you can design, buildand make it work just by yourself.
Plastey—
45-50days experiment.
Completely a one man show.
Fully working, has multiplayer features,undo and redo, save and load, STL export.
Zoom, rotate, selection, moving selection.
Free and Open Source software.
Lessons learnt—
Oculus' 1080p, even a 1440p resolution is not enough.
LeapMotion in this form is not a fun tool we can work with.
The effect and experience still blew people's mind.
Do you speak code?—
Well, you should :)
You need deeper knowledge on thesoftware and the hardware as well!
