| Parrot Zik Headphones |
Another observation from my visit to CES the year was seeing more touch interfaces. The Zik headphones by Parrot have touch-sensitive controls on the right earpiece. This is a slick way of navigating through your playlist and works fairly well too. Our phones today have transitioned to touchscreen control and interaction, moving away from physical buttons. A few projects we are currently working on in the Juggernaut studio are making this transition as well, and it’s easy to see how 10 years from now there may not be any physical buttons left in the world beyond a power button. Other products are going this direction too as interface screens and displays are becoming the norm in home appliances…..as seen in many of LG’s displays. Staying up to date with current trends in graphics, icons use, font choices, are all things I’m thinking of more and more.
It's always exciting to see new technologies and interactions…..these make design more fun as creative possibilities are always changing!
