Mouseless

Mouseless is an invisible computer mouse that provides the familiarity of interaction of a physical mouse without actually needing a real hardware mouse.

As the computer mouse has remained largely unchanged over the last decades, we have become increasingly proficient at operating the two-button mouse. Recently, various multitouch and gestural interaction technologies have been explored as means to implement alternative methods to interact with a computer. Despite these advances in computing hardware technologies, the two-button computer mouse has remained the predominant means to interact with a computer. The Mouseless invention removes the requirement of having a physical mouse altogether but still provides the intuitive interaction of a physical mouse that we are familiar with.

Cardsorting presentation ideas…

pecus — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 06:26:26 +0000

I’m working on a new presentation to deliver next saturday at ENEI2010, it’s far from being finished and I’m aiming to be not just an introduction to User Experience and Usability but also a strong critic to the absence of users in most of the traditional software development process… The ideas flow randomly in my mind so before hitting keynote I decided to put them into small cards and cardsort them!

The downside was that seeing all notes like this, help me realize how much I’m still lagging behing for all the ideas I’m still missing in it

Seen on Blip.TV admin panel, while uploading a video file to the system. Couldn’t help but laught and at the same time it just reminded me of the reasonings behind my ‘Playful Interactions‘ presentation where I’ve tried to explore the need to incorporate fun, and game-like behaviors when designing user experiences.
