History video by Lanor: Design story: The Decanter (1960)

via landor.com

"The Decanter, a promotional film produced by Walter Landor and Associates in the 1960s, shows the start-to-finish process of several of Landor's designs for Old Fitzgerald whiskey. Narrated by Walter himself, the film depicts creative teams illustrating and critiquing designs, industrial designers fabricating models, and research teams conducting focus groups and testing in Landor's supermarket laboratory." nice one!

thanx @superfab, @rmichael, @cscheffy

IDEO | BBVA - a short video about the future of the ATM

via http://www.futureselfservicebanking.com/

In early 2007 the Spanish bank BBVA asked IDEO Munich 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. ...
The result of that work is the vision for a totally new self-service experience: an ATM built from user up, rather than components down. ...
Today, that vision is reality. It took 2 years of time and a team of committed companies to develop this ATM.

IDEO Labs » Bluetooth Classic / by Coulter Lewis

via labs.ideo.com

"... Although it was produced for 30+ years and in quantities of millions, this handset is now a relic. My eight year old nephew has never seen it before. Technology has progressed and phones are now designed to facilitate ever increasing levels of functionality. As is often the case, with all that is gained, something is lost.
...
The next revision will employ an accelerometer to allow the user to answer a call by simply picking up the phone, further emulating the original experience. ..."

OK Go's Rube Goldberg Machine

via syynlabs.com

great one!

Reminds me of the fun we had with IDEO’s Global Chain Reaction two years ago. Eight worldwide locations, six time zones, and roughly fifty people involved. It looked more like a blueprint for possible points of failure than a functioning Rube Goldberg machine designed to run sequentially across three continents:

MyFord Touch - Case Studies - IDEO

via ideo.com

Another project (done in 2007) that we can now talk about: With the MyFord Touch, IDEO helped conceive signature interface elements for all future Ford vehicles launching in 2010. The elements connect drivers with in-car technologies and let them stay connected to their digital lives outside the car. Read the case study here: http://www.ideo.com/work/item/myford-touch/

This was introduced by Ford some days ago at the CES - watch it here: http://www.thefordstory.com/smart-technology/ces-keynote-speech/ - scroll down to the 3rd video and go to minute 26...
