20 Reasons Why Western Mobiles Suck

Actually it doesn’t per se, but that could be a subjective observation. Anyhoo, I thought this was hilarious:

1. mobile wallet
2. MANGA on mobile
3. mobile check-in at airports
4. mobile keys for door
5. mobile employee badges
6. mobile cinema tickets
7. mobile transport passes
8. fingerprint authentication
9. face recognition/authentication

In Love

Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir is probably the most amazing photographer I have ever discovered. Her style is so unique and compelling that it just makes me go “damn” everytime I look at a picture she took. Her Flickr following also gives a pretty certain indication that she rocks everyone else’s world too! and she’s incredibly gorgeous. [...]

Happy Mother’s Day!

My mom will never find this, but I’d like to just put it out there. Happy Mother’s Day! To all mom’s and mothers to be. It is a special day indeed. Even though we all get in fights, get impatient, frustrated and even upset, you can’t help but remember those other moments: [...]

Dialog: Games + Information Visualization

I promise to update on my group’s progress. We are getting somewhere and it’s exciting! Lots of data visualizations and interesting spatial/temporal interactions. Our advisor thinks we are heading in a good direction and we also received good feedback from our Microsoft advisor as well. I’ll just mention that we are now working on [...]

AOL blatantly ripped off Yahoo’s homepage. That says a lot about the company and the creative department. Unless the [...]

Nikon Visualization on Universal Scale

This is pretty nuts. I was up late last night looking at information visualizations for some inspiration and came across this great thing Nikon created showing scale from the tiny quark to the mighty universe itself. It’s a pretty profound way of looking at the world. We’re so small, yet so large (wooooo). [...]

More On Multi-Touch Screens

Multi-touch screens are nothing new in the research world. If you don’t know what that is, just think of the new iPhone and using two fingers to “pinch” an image to shrink. Microsoft also has something similar when you manipulate a map with your hand gestures. This example is just more demonstrations of [...]

Health and Wellness: Concepts and Designs

Before I go any further, I’d like to point out that our initial website is up: Pebble In A Pond
wtf does that mean?!
Simply, it is a metaphor of our purpose. A single pebble dropped into a calm pond, causes ripples to spread further and wider. There is a dualistic relationship here: One is that [...]
