Designer Creates “Touchband” Interface to Make Cameras More Usable

This designer used a process similar to the one detailed in the Art of Innovation by Tom Kelly - a book that provides a fascinating and informative glimpse into the innovation process. I highly recommend that book, and I think lots of hackers would both identify with the material and learn new ways of generating both the intuitive and counter-intuitive insights they need to design a superior user experience.

Cool concept. Not sure if the proficiency setting requires a physical switch – it seems like a user would only change that setting a couple times over the course of their usage of the camera.

This is true to some extent. But on the other hand it is the most important setting, because every other option depends on it (that is also why it is sitts on top).

Most cameras are used by more than one person with different expertise in photography.

One of the many things I did not show in this video was the function of the camera teaching you how to use it. Now try to imagine the satisfaction the user would get when he/she could goes to the next level by switching a physical switch.

Nifty interface. Impressive intro video.
