I’ve just finished the online version of the paper I’ve presented at the 4th Information Design International Conference.
The article is about Ambient Information Systems, a specific type of information systems. It is part of the research I’ve been doing during my PhD. You can read and/or download it here.
I also uploaded the presentation to my [...]

In this article a specific category of information systems, known as ambient information systems, is discussed. These systems present information in a non-intrusive manner, mostly on the periphery of our attention, following the concept of calm technology. Some ambient information systems are discussed, highlighting their characteristics and limitations. This article is an exploratory research conducted by the author as part of his PhD thesis about interaction design and pervasive computing.

Rio de Janeiro’s underground public transport system (the “metro”) is an interesting case of a bad signage system/information design. Not that they didn’t have a good signage system. In fact, till a few years ago, the original signage system was up and running, and doing a very good job in my opinion. Some updates were [...]

Discute a importância das capas de discos como elementos de identificação e diferenciação visual. Partindo de um breve retrospecto sobre as capas de LPs e CDs, faz um paralelo com o “cover flow” do iPod, que resgata a possbilidade de “folhear” capas nos atuais acervos de música digital.

From a characterization of computer systems as tools for interaction and communication, this paper seeks to broaden the discussion of designing for interaction beyond the interface. It underlines the importance of studying social practices arising from the increasingly intensive use of computer technology, considering the all-pervasive presence and mobility of computers as decisive factors in contemporary communication processes.
