  • Avanceé Reads for 9 May 25 🔗

    From insightful discussions for small business leaders to discussing how Muse is used by Avanceé, it’s been a pretty intellectually stimulating week.

  • When Do We Get to Molding

    Watched three gentlemen at a coffee shop who pulled two tables together, with paper and laptop laptops spread out across them talking business. Wasn’t so much interested in topic, but I paid attention to how they were using the space to interact and manage their discussion. There were hand motions from one person. There was pointing at paper and shuffling between files with another person. All of them had a piece of their eye going towards the laptop, which had a privacy film on it. Continue reading →

  • On Perspective

    Really dig when Satya Nadella and Microsoft publish the work trends report Not so much because it is saying anything that isn’t known. Most of the people who are on this particular social network already understand the changing environment for spaces that deal in some aspect of knowledge management. (whether you wanna call analytics, user experience, project/product, leadership, or whatever). What does this call out? It is for those persons or organizations who are using Microsoft products.

  • Making AR More Useful

    Good discussion topic over at Reddit asking what could make augmented reality (AR) more useful in everyday life.

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 →
