Connected object design: creating a simple experience around a complex technology
Connected objects
A successful connected object does not show its complexity
Connected objects
The design of a connected object must make technology understandable, reassuring and pleasant to use. The value does not come solely from the electronics or the application, but from the fluidity between the object, the gesture, the feedback and the service.
For the user, the object must seem obvious. It must explain what it does, when it works, how it reacts and why it deserves a place in daily life.
Working on the physical interface
Buttons, indicator lights, sounds, textures, orientation, and grip compose an interface as much as the screen does. Product design makes these signals coherent and intuitive.
Making technology disappear
When the design is right, technology becomes an invisible support for the experience. The object appears simple, even if its internal functioning is sophisticated.
