Mobile interfaces Pinterest board
I’ve started a Pinterest board featuring mobile interfaces that catch my eye. It’s a work in progress and I’ll be adding to it as I go along.
It’s made up of hardware and software interfaces that break moulds or just do simple things really well. The example below is a screenshot of Path. (Ex-)Privacy issues aside, Path is a lovely app to interact with, visual and playful and introduces nice new models of interaction.

Here’s an interesting way of prototyping digital interfaces.
Having a physical prototype [has the] benefit of putting something in your hands you can play with and evaluate. While a final design may end up as pixels, there’s a lot to explore beyond that.
“Urbanflow would add a layer of personalized interactivity to common public signage, so that tourists could find a specific route on a local map, seek out the closest subway station, or simply find a cool place to hang out for a few hours.
It would do this by leveraging what Urbanscale calls the “ambient data” generated by the interaction of people and infrastructure, “such as energy consumption, traffic density, air quality and municipal works.” The idea is that you can see what’s going on, but also communicate back to the city with your own updates.”

Here’s a lovely write up of the recent V&A exhibition ‘Power of Making’ that focusses on digital design as a craft:
MEX – the strategy forum for mobile user experience – Crafting experience
“Where these physical craftspeople rely on familiarity with grains, knots, fractures and faults, their digital equals must become intimate with the varied interactions, connectivity and behaviours which define virtual experience. By understanding the technical composition of these elements, by embracing a willingness to subvert them and by constantly refining the experience, the resulting designer is more capable of the alchemy of memorable digital craft.”

Rimino - A Human Touch on Mobile Experience (by Amid Moradganjeh)
Rimino concept is an E-paper mobile device with a user interface inspired by print posters. Historically, as technology has progressed, devices have become more conspicuous. Rimino challenges this trend and presents the alternative: technology that is more integrated and more sensitive to the human experience.
