So they were automated and slowly removed from view, replaced with a single button. As time progressed more levers were introduced to the point of too many. With the premise of something good (or bad) to follow. IDIoT – Interaction Design for the Internet of Things – Making Dumb Technology Smart Enough for Idiots.Ībstract: Interaction design started out with the affordance of a lever, a desire to hold it, move it, and a hand to pull it. I started as a usability expert at the Fraunhofer Institute of Industrial Science, Germany, after which I gained a PhD in Psychology in London, and I am also a lecturer in Psychology at the University of East London. My main work is on interaction design and user experience, in particular its dependence on human decision-making style. I am a researcher and senior consultant in user experience. We also discuss findings on possible solutions, such as collaborative pairing of interaction designers with programmers. Results are presented from interviews and survey-based research on the barriers to introducing successful Agile development processes. Despite its success of being adopted across large sections of the industry, effective implementation of Agile practices still remains a problem, in particular in large organisations. Efficiency and quality of output is achieved through collaboration across roles in adaptive planning, evolutionary and iterative development cycles, early delivery of working code, and continuous improvement.

We'll be back in January with more incredible founders! Wishing all our community and listeners a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year, finding the joy where we can in the midst of the madness. You don't want to miss this inspirational episode! Tom talks us through his process of seeing a need and building a successful business on it, designing a user experience, his journey through our Impact Central accelerator and his advice for those just starting out on the entrepreneurs (often lonely) journey.

Amber Light is an app which takes that 'battle' idea and creates a gamified app, allowing people to track their habits - whether it's porn, alcohol or junk food - and find support and accountability with a community of people who have been there or are still there with you. His idea came about from a personal addiction and lack of support there is for those battling with it. We speak to impact entrepreneur Tom Fenton, founder of Amber Light, who has found a tech solution to addiction that also has a personal side. Not the most festive of topics, we'll grant you, but an important one that often goes under the radar, with a lot to unpack. In the final episode of 2020 (goodbye to that, thank you very much!) Gordon and SL tackle a big, tricky subject - addiction.
