New article: Situationally Reflective Design

Seeing @neauoire's paper computing explorations, I was reminded of an old idea I proposed at PaperCamp LDN back in 2009: Originally this was vaguely about using origami to create multi-purpose AR markers, but I then extended it to other use cases, some of which could be adapted and be even relevant today, e.g. as a form of proof-of-work, protection against AI crawlers or other form of access control.

Some possible approaches for different use cases:

1) Ask users to perform or series of simple folds and then check results by validating fold lines in the flat sheet paper via computer vision
2) Same as #1, but perform shape recognition/validation of fully folded result
3) Unfold a pre-shared (and pre-folded) origami object to check result by validating fold lines via computer vision
4) Provide instructions for multiple origami creations to create uniquely identifiable objects for computer vision based interactive environments

Number 1-3 are more or less about forms of proving physicality, work, membership. Number 4 is more about using origimi as fiducial markers for general interactions

The pain in a name — Is information architecture right to call itself architecture?

I have long felt uneasy about modern occupations associating themselves with high-status traditional professions. This has been brought into sharp focus for me since I started a role last year focusing heavily on information architecture, to the annoyance of my wife Alex, who is an actual architect.

Omg! Want want want. But I am broke…

Reflect, Interact, Argue: Studying Design

In times of so many specialisations in the area of design and an uncertain future due to the impact of AI in our profession and its education I believe in 3 main competences within a design study programme.

May I share my arguments with you in this article: https://medium.com/@stefan_woelwer/reflect-interact-argue-studying-design-9a9097d41810

I'm looking for a new design role!

My work friends (I’d like to believe) would say I’m helpful and smart. That I care about the people using what I design. Plus, I’m good at troubleshooting tricky group dynamics. To summarize: I’m fun to work with!

If you know anyone looking for a senior/staff/principle product designer, tell them to check out my BRAND NEW website and send me a message.

Thanks a million ✊

I agree that many people struggle with this:

“we couldn’t help but notice that in many of the subsequent conversations, too many people in the product and design communities simply don’t understand the necessary role of one or both of product managers or product designers”

Unfortunately, the major crux of this confusion is never addressed in the arguments hoping to untangle it.

Spent much of this week making #HTML #Prototypes for a new service we're doing some #Discovery work on.

Feels good getting my hands dirty with some code.Especially a little bit of #InteractionDesign

I don't want to get into the "designers should code" debate, but it's a useful skill to have in your quiver.
