For the past week have been sitting with the term “gateway.“ In part, a recollection of Gateway Computers (mid-90s to 2000s). Another part thinking about the types of transitional moments which happen as people, projects, and products evolve.

…figure out what you did to break things and get back on track. Am back at being able to get up to speed with the Monocle project by Brilliant Labs. Purchased this and seems like might have treated it, or its case, a bit roughly. Decided that it was worth repurchasing this while waiting for their Frame iteration to come in. After a few hiccups with resetting Monocle via its Noa app on a few devices, am back at letting it be something of an assistant in training. Continue reading →

For some, their landing of user experience begins at interviews and design thinking games, and ends at reports with tangible assets to hand off to someone else to implement so that the interviews and games could be restarted anew.

Decided to do an impromptu trip to the closest Apple Store and demo the Apple Vision Pro. The following are my impressions before, during, and after completing the demo - not edited except to add links from the written/scribbles.

Compared initial, extended view/feel of the Vision Pro to the Studio Display and iMac. Continue reading →
