Re: [IxDA Discuss] Sharing files from iPad to iPad
Actually, AppleInsider wrote an article about app file sharing, and they suggest files will be available wirelessly via a shared directory. It still does not explain how one iPad will access another one, but Apple provide the framework to do that. http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/01/29/apple_reinventing_file_access_wireless_sharing_for_ipad.html http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/01/29/apple_reinventing_file_access_wireless_sharing_for_ipad.html Gilles On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 10:42 PM, Neil Cadsawan n...@cadsawan.net wrote: Thanks for that link. It answers some questions on the direction Apple's going to take. I guess the iPad to iPad connection simply won't exist. It seems like a missed opportunity to use Bonjour to see people around you and have your own mesh network. Maybe that'll come later. I can hope. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I am have come up with a range of different graphical concepts( designed in adobe illustrator) but I am struggling to make them dynamic, animated and interactive. What I am looking for is a tool which will enable me to update a spreadsheet or data base and it will manipulate the graphics accordingly. Can you recommend any software or scripting that might help me, in fact any suggestion would be good? Thanks, Ian Carr Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Icons vs. Symbols
Hello Den, Why don't you make the graphics/icons appear when the picture is hovered ? That way the icons will not be so much of an annoyance while the user scans the photos, as at most one serie of those icons/graphics will appear. And when the user will decide to do something with the picture they are interested in, they will target that picture and select the action accordingly. Well, just my $.02.

I'm not worried about users getting confused between photos and icons. I'm worried about the overall layout. I can imagine the eyetracking research for this (I wish I could get the client to do the real thing) - the user's focus will be jumping from picture to picture, as it should, but also to the icons, which it shouldn't. Take a look at the gettyimages.com site, and you'll see what I mean. A set of consistent, small, light symbols are far less of a visual disruptor than those icons. In my experience, hunting through hundreds of photos is tiring enough. My fear is that adding the clutter will make the experience even that much more draining. I see it as comparable to why museums prefer to keep the descriptions of artwork away from the piece so that your focus is where it should be - on the art. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Forms - selecting a country
Hello to the list, hello Jeff. On Tue, Dec 30, 2008 at 5:56 PM, Jeff White jwhit...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for all of the responses so far. Yohan, I'd be very interested in your multilingual country database - thanks for sharing. Good default value [1] is your friend here. IP-address provides information about the location of the one who is filling the form [2]. You can fill the form with this information and the guess will be probably true. Of course, in case this value is wrong (proxy issues, etc...) a drop-down list allows for manual selection, but my guess is that most of your audience will not have to select it manually. Yet, as usual, it depends really on your audience. If the web form is targeted for the consumer market, the ip address will be probably correct. If the form will be accessed by multinational companies, the chances are the proxy for the Internet connection will be in another country. Yet those cases are rare and previous solution still holds. my €.02 Gilles [1] http://designinginterfaces.com/Good_Defaults [2] http://www.geobytes.com/ipLocator.htm Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
