– Good design is as little design as possible
Less, but better – because it concentrates on the essential aspects, and the products are not burdened with non-essentials.

Rethink: turning receipts into ‘paper apps’
Commonplace objects are re-imagined. Retail receipts could make the most of the information systems that modern point-of-sales machines are plugged into. And “the humble receipt could be something like a paper “appâ€be valuable in small and playful ways.” nice idea.
3D Eyetracking UI
Wow, i just love this User Interface and i must say it’s beautifully Crafted.
“What if the graphics on your mobile seemed to have real depth? Imagine tilting your mobile so you can look around corners and behind objects in the GUI to access additional information. Imagine layered GUIs where pop-up windows really pop up. With eye-tracking and the real 3D capabilities of Cascades, this is now possible.”

The World’s Best Gadget Designers Speak in “Objectified”
[kml_flashembed movie=”http://www.youtube.com/v/S9E2D2PaIcI” height=”344″ width=”425″ menu=”false” /]
Just found this very intresting film “Objectified” which is a feature-length independent documentary about industrial design. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about the people who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability. It’s about our relationship to mass-produced objects and, by extension, the people who design them.
And in-depth conversations, the film documents the creative processes of some of the world’s most influential designers, and looks at how the things they make impact our lives. What can we learn about who we are, and who we want to be, from the objects with which we surround ourselves?
