An OLED is a form of LED. Unlike an LED, OLEDs come in a sheet form and can thus be made in to any shape and bent into any form. In the comming years OLEDs will replace LCD’s and Plasma screens leading to super sexy milimeter thin screens.Read OLED Bike Light -
Being an Interaction Designer at the TRIL Centre
Its been almost 10 months at TRIL so I decided to post some updates here. Unfortunately I can’t really talk about TRIL work, which may make this post a bit dry! During my time I have learnt an awful lot, and it was a running start from graduating. TRIL is a really interesting project and I get to work with a huge range of people from Neuroscientists to Signal Processing Engineers. Most of my time in has been spent on project for the social connection strand, Building Bridges. (ii) Building Bridges to Health, Learning and Fun The aim of this program…Read Being an Interaction Designer at the TRIL Centre -
SEED Dating @ScienceGallery
What is SEED DATING? SEED DATING is a fast-paced event designed to spark off creative connections and allow people to share and develop ideas for innovative projects in arts, science, technology and media. http://www.sciencegallery.ie/seed_dating SEED dating was yet another great event put on during the Lightwave exhibition of the Science Gallery. The event meant meeting 10 different ‘luminares’ from a wide range of fields. Architects & Designers to Neuroscientists and Mathematician. You get three minutes to introduce, brainstorm and come up with an idea. I found three minutes a bit short but after a couple of introductions…Read SEED Dating @ScienceGallery -
Arduino Workshop @ScienceGallery with Tom Scaff.
As part of the science gallery exhibition I got to take part in Tom Scarffs Arudunio workshop. The workshop covered all of the basics, and was a nice introduction to the open source micro-controller. Tom focused a couple of the projects with a MIDI interface, but it was good to see how I could use the same very simple techniques to apply to Flash.Read Arduino Workshop @ScienceGallery with Tom Scaff. -

MK12 design process – How to design a sexy UI for MI5.
After my last post, I contacted MK12 to get more information about there design process. Luckily they got back to me, this was there response. I hope this will be helpful to any computer scientists who spend 30 seconds designing an interface. MK12 took 6 months and create a unified UI for a range of devices for MI5. I wonder if QintetiQ have a process like this, as they are the guys designing military interfaces.Read MK12 design process – How to design a sexy UI for MI5. -
