| Designing for TV Screen Interaction: Interesting IxDA Thread Posted: 10 Jun 2010 03:23 AM PDT The IxDA (Interaction Design Association) forum has an thread about designing for TV interaction. Several IxDA members have shared some resources on this topic. I've just uncovered the links and resources and thought I'd share them in this post, with a detailed follow-up in a week or so, as I'm also researching topics related to 3D TV. Maurice Carty recommends the PVR (Personal Video Recorder) report from teehan+lax: http://teehanlax.com/work/pvr-report/ (you can download the pdf version of the report from the link) From bauruag, who is a fan of Boxee: Boxee : http://method.com/#/ Time Warner - http://method.com/#/ Microsoft Online Media - http://method.com/#/ RELATED Definition of Interaction Design Definition of IxD"Interaction Design (IxD) defines the structure and behavior of interactive systems. Interaction Designers strive to create meaningful relationships between people and the products and services that they use, from computers to mobile devices to appliances and beyond. Our practices are evolving with the world; join the conversation." -IxDA http://interactivemultimediatechnology.blogspot.com  |

| Beautiful Data: The Stories Behind Elegant Data Solutions (and a side trip of the color strata) Posted: 09 Jun 2010 01:58 PM PDT  This is one of the books on my summer reading list. I planned on buying this book last summer. I got around to ordering it a few days ago, and today, it arrived in the mail. Nathan Yau, the author of Flowing Data, was responsible for the first chapter, "Seeing Your Life in Data". I'm a fan of the Flowing Data blog. Nathan shares quite a bit of interesting- and beautiful- information on his blog. For example, his recent post, Strata of common and not so common colors,  "The Color Strata includes the 200 most common color names (excluding black-white-grayish tones), organized by hue horizontally and relative usage vertically, stacked by overall popularity, shaded representatively, and labeled where possible. Besides filtering spam, ignoring cruft, normalizing grey to gray, and correcting the most egregious misspellings (here's looking at you, fuchsia), the results are otherwise unadulterated." - via Stephen, of Weather Sealed After looking at all of the colors, I followed Nathan's links and the links from his links (I love colorful rabbit holes!)... and found this graphic about the differences between girls and boys, from Doghouse Diaries, on the xkcd blog:   http://interactivemultimediatechnology.blogspot.com  |
