WORDS

"Creating effective physical-to-digital interactions is a unique challenge. With the great human diversity in physical capabilities due to age, gender, physical condition and motivation, there is rarely a "one size fits all" solution. A human-centered approach involving the collaboration of interface & industrial designers with experts in human factors & ergonomics is necessary. Ultimately, with the continued spread of physical interaction technologies and metaphors, it is essential for designers to not only 'know thy user,' but to know their users' bodies"

Excerpted from Creating Virtual Interfaces for Physical People.

Industrial Design History

Submitted by sarahcabral on July 5, 2010 - 6:17pm.


 



Very nice to meet you Rob.


My name is Sarah Cabral, I'm a Dominican, who studied Industrial Design in the mid 90, and is now evaluating helping my almamatter, revising some of the subjects.


In concrete I'm helping with the Industrial Design History subject..... And I was hopping you (or maybe you can refer me to someone who can) could help me listing some book references or material, that would be usefull.


Thank you in advance for your help.


Regards,


Sarah
