Making AR More Useful
Good discussion topic over at Reddit asking what could make augmented reality (AR) more useful in everyday life. My comment: It needs to extend physical interfaces or make one more aware to senses they might not be using. For example, being able to touch a an ordinary light switch (on/off) is what might be the physical reality. But the AR reality should enable dimming of the light via some gesture on the same object.

Chatting about Muse Today
Update: interview now posted An hour or so ago, wrapped up a 90ish-minute chat with Adam Wulf of Muse (museapp.com and @museapp on the socials) Chatted a bit about our use of Muse - daily/weekly use, perspectives on tablet/canvases and direct input interfaces, and what it means to have a space of thought that’s separate-yet-productive and distinct from collaborative/participatory software. You’ll glean a bit more about how Avanceé is also shaped as a business from this, which might be helpful in assisting you or your team’s journey. Continue reading →

You Aren’t Looking for A Coach
Here’s something that stuck out getting to the middle of this piece: you aren’t looking for a coach. …People buy business books because they’re hoping for frameworks to solve their immediate problems (getting more leads, improving sales, scaling staff.) Choice isn’t like that. It’s a self-help book disguised as a business book. It’s about finding your way in a world gone mad. One that’s designed to distract you. But, it was positioned as a book to help you make more money. Continue reading →

Torque Wrenches
Some weekends ago was working on one of my bicycles. I had a little bit of squeaking and went to use a torque wrench and the guidance of the user manual to make sure that items were in the correct set. When I got around to the headset, stem, I noticed they were definitely not according to specification. They were in fact, too loose to safely continue riding. So I began to tighten them according to the Newton meters prescribed within the manual. Continue reading →

Opining about Human-Centered Design in Civic Tech
Cropping a convo for a wider eye/lens… the context being design/human-centered design in (a/some) #CivicTech spaces How to be human centered when the operational objective isn’t to be humane, but to be operationally more proficient… such is the design challenge to transform its approach and posture once again Could probably drop tools/practices and just focus towards training and behavioral development… use the “tools/practices” as the languages and impress a heuristic of product agility, operational versatility, and “readiness to {outcome}” as the pillars.
