Dragon speech recognition now available for iPhone- apparently it’s a bit pants, and it doesn’t look like it trains to your own voice? Wifi needed- uses dragon servers. Too late to play with now but I’ll post a full opinion soon. It is free, though.

How come I hadn’t seen this before?! Stick it on your iPhone 3 and you’ve got video calling!

Human 2.0, blurring the boundaries between human and machine. Really interesting, wish I’d come across this when I was doing my dissertation! Essentially this demonstrates what is seemingly known to only a few - the ‘disabled’ person designing situations to enable participation in otherwise excluded activities. It’s exciting that we are bringing this ‘fringe’ interest more and more into the spotlight, which is something I am soooo desperate to work with as an interaction designer. I love how, early on in the clip, it is acknowledged that we have to ‘work out’ how to use the crap that often doctors give us to help enable ourselves. Hugh Herr goes into more detail of the technicalities of limb prosthesis and the potential that new technologies can offer. I’m only 6 minutes through… maybe more to come!

New Photos - ECA degreeshow 2010

Sat, 19 Jun 2010 16:01:00 +0100

Didn’t take too many photos (wasn’t sure if I should really be taking ANY) but enjoyed the ECA degree show all the same!! It did make me feel a little over practical - guess I really am not an artist, certainly the bulk of the work here went straight over my head!!

Working out our New Designers space… almost there!...

Wed, 09 Jun 2010 23:44:00 +0100

Working out our New Designers space… almost there! Working more on it tomorrow, hopefully we’ll get the plan finished so we know what we need for building.

On another note, my friend was THIS *holds up fingers very close together* close to being in the Big Brother house!!! SOOOOO disappointed that he wasn’t in the final selection (Big Brother had chosen 81, then live tonight they decided on 14 of them to actually go in the house) but never mind, no doubt I’ll watch it anyway, just with less excitement…!

Don’t know why but I really like this book shop… It’s also using a similarly… petite? space to our New Designers space… OHWOW Book Club New York

Been a while....

Tue, 08 Jun 2010 19:38:00 +0100

I’ve been having a break from real life, and went home home (parents home) for a few days. I also spent a couple of days in Edinburgh - forgot how nice it is. Dundee has a way of getting you down… but maybe that’s just because I associate it with the intense stress of getting a degree!!

Being back in uni today, preparing for New Designers, was kind of… weird. I’ve had a couple of ‘meetings’ recently, and been scouring the web for job opportunities for my ‘dream’ companies, but being back in Uni seemed to really highlight that like, it’s over. I am so glad I made the decision to go to New Designers though, I think nothing can better communicate who you are than speaking for yourself. I’m hoping something amazing is going to come from it all!

So prep for New Designers began today, and went well! We’re going to start up a dedicated blog asap, so I’ll post a link when I have it.

Summer is here. So is real life. I need a job, a new life. Sounds daunting all of a sudden.

Wish I’d seen this before. I’m in love with the cybraphon - affected by it’s online reviews ( and the emotions people express towards it through facebook, twitter etc ) the ‘band in a box’ plays music that reflects it’s current public status.
