Presentation Links

A number of links from last week's west coast presentations: Context, Adrenaline, Design hosted by Irene Au at Google; and Seat Covers & Service Design at Stanford hosted by Carissa Carter of the Product Design Program and part of the David Liu Memorial Lecture Series. Residents of that silicon valley (and possibly also this silicon valley) should consider attending other sessions in a series that includes Janine Benyus, Sara Beckman and Rich Silverstein.

Most of the material was taken from A Path, Adapted [4MB PowerPoint].

The seat covers in question came from a study into the future of urban spaces. The original post is here, and related material from the same study from Chongqing, Mumbai and Rio.

Some of you interested in the nitty gritty of life on the road should point your browsers to today's office which, as you might expect describes that day's office.

An essay on the illiteracy research can be found here, its a bit of a slog and has been condensed into this download [6MB PowerPoint] and Future Perfect posts here. Vid-heads will no-doubt prefer to watch this LIFT conference video out of their peripheral vision whilst they multi-task with more important things.

A whole bunch of additional emerging markets research+ has now moved to here, since you may well have also struggled with downloading presentations from research.nokia.com, a page that I currently have limited control over, and am hesitant to put more effort into.

Thanks to both sets of audiences for entering into the spirit of the occasion.
