eTech 2007: Keynote: From pixels to plastic

March 29, 2007

Matt Webb, co-author of Mind Hacks and Availbot talks about From Pixels to Plastic The presentation is all around the so called Generation C. Shows the japanese refolding t-shirts video. Products are people too. Focus on happiness and engagement when designing products. Experience counts! Experiences while designing products:

Experimental observation
Autonomous things (predictable automation)
Lost luggage

Experience hooks:

Design
Manufacture
Discovery
Being wished-for
Selection
Purchase
Being shown-off
Discussion/review
Re-sale

Talks about the Chumby as an exciting good example of all of this.

Generation C are networked, creative and capable of building the ir own product.
We should treat experience as a d design surface, and as product inspiration.
There are manu experimental approaches.

Socialize the Web! This was a great presentation, one of the best, I hope I get a hand of the slides online.
