YEA, SURE. JUST CHECK YOUR MESSAGES IN THE MIDDLE OF

OUR CONVERSATION.

We need to start thinking about the consequences these interactions create. Stop disruption and distractions.

Technology shouldn’t require all of our attention, just some of it, and only when necessary.

- Amber Case, Author of Designing Calm Technology

4PRINCIPLES OF

CALM TECHNOLOGY

FIRST PRINCIPLE OF CALM TECHNOLOGY

Technology should require the smallest amount of our attention.

http://www.calmtech.com/

SECOND PRINCIPLE OF CALM TECHNOLOGY

Technology should inform and encalm.

http://www.calmtech.com/

THIRD PRINCIPLE OF CALM TECHNOLOGY

Technology should make use of the periphery.

http://www.calmtech.com/

FOURTH PRINCIPLE OF CALM TECHNOLOGY

Amplify the best of technology and the best of humanity.

Let’s start by improving on-screen interactions.

Is this the best way to notify over time?

The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until

they are indistinguishable from it.

INVISIBLE TECHNOLOGY:

Electricity is all around us. It works in the background without requiring our attention.

The invisible interface:

On-screen interactions REPLACED with discreet signals.

A smart contact lens from Novartis & Google measures a diabetics’

blood sugar levels

As sensor technology becomes more accessible, it will be the

designer's job to curate how this information is fed into our lives.

How great would it be if a “shh” activated “Don’t disturb”!
