How could the world be less frustrating? This moblog brings you on a tour of problematic technology. We will collectively ruminate on what is wrong with these experiences, and we hope this create a fertile breeding ground for new solution memes. To avoid being excessively negative we will also occasionally post good designs along with the bad. This blog is informal and partially submitted from mobile phones, so please excuse brevity and spelling.
Not to belabor the point of towel dispenser design, but as a followup to the previous post on the topic, I saw this very NICE dispenser design recently. The use of both graphics and text which directly tell the user how to interact with the device is very effective. Could a motion sensor-based design be this clear?
