Collaboration between the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (remember those previous videos?) and Nokia:

Great little video on playful ways to ‘doodle’ with your phone.

2. Staying Connected

Love this one, and very relevant to Yagatta and presence. Put your phone on the grass and your partner’s phone gets a green background, think this is a great way to connect through phones and could inspire some good ideas for Yagatta.

3. Little World

Make people the centre of your UI. What a great idea, hope they’ll develop this further!

Nice article here on design research from Jane Fulton Suri of IDEO (of thoughtless acts? fame).

The different types of design research described, whilst using different terminology, align closely with our current thinking and practices, which is reassuring.

As an aside, this article also mentions Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink, a great read on intuition and right-brain thinking, which comes highly recommended.
