THE FUTURE OF TV
by horacioduek - 06.10.2010 / News • Usability • Web
MetaMirror is a concept, a culmination of our involvement in the Digital Home space, designed in response to new television watching behaviors.
There is an ongoing debate as to whether media in the living room should be powered by the internet – using ever increasing speeds to feed rich HD content, or instead by the existing television infrastructure – already omnipresent in homes around the world. Yet, this debate focuses on technology, and in doing so neglects the most important aspect of the television experience, the viewer. It is this stakeholder, the protaganist in the act of television watching, who we must represent as designers.

THE FUTURE OF SELF-SERVICE BANKING
by horacioduek - 24.09.2010 / Design • Usability
ATMs were first introduced over 40 years ago and since then many features have been incrementally added to the machines, in order to fulfill the dream of a truly “automated teller”. Modern ATMs offer a wide range of banking transactions; nevertheless the actual interaction has remained largely untouched. In early 2007 the Spanish bank BBVA asked IDEO to re-think their self-service channel from scratch. The question was not how to further automate the teller, but rather how to humanize the machine. Have a look at the video to learn about the unique features of the envisioned self-service experience.
WHY WE USE WORDPRESS AS A CMS
by horacioduek - 17.08.2010 / Design • Usability • Web
There are so many open-source content management systems (CMS) nowadays that our clients are usually faced with a problem when deciding the CMS platform for their new web site. But if we’re looking for stability, performance, easy of use and technical requirements, we’ll come up with a handful of options. In the past, choosing the “right” CMS was a matter of the client and project’s requirements, but now this is not completely valid since the paradigm of extensibility had driven the development of major CMS’ towards a model of core features that are extensible with extensions or plug-ins that fill virtually any requirement.
THE BEST WAY TO EXPERIENCE YOUR DIGITAL LIFE
by horacioduek - 23.06.2010 / Design • Usability

The iPad is not available in Argentina yet, let alone in Mendoza. But we are slowly seeing more and more iPads in Mendoza’s cafes and restaurants. I bought my iPad the day Apple released it in the U.S, April 3th. I had pre-ordered it about a month prior and got it in the flagship Apple Store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. I’ve been using my iPad for a couple of months now and I must say that this is simply the greatest piece of technology ever designed for consumers.
