Re: [IxDA Discuss] Your field tablet mr. UX Researcher
what gets me is how valuable this would be for more than UX, but extend it to almost any field observation recon auditing type activity. I likey! I'd like to buy a set for my contextual research project class, please. ;-) -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This device really is a back stage pass. Just carry one of these to any event along with a name-tag and your in.

The thing that amuses me is imagining the researchers working on this project observing other researchers doing research. It's like reading a Borges novel in a hall of mirrors.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Your field tablet mr. UX Researcher
I'll be honest. My first reaction upon clicking the link was to laugh out loud. It's a combination between a tricorder and the tape player I had when I was eleven. My more measured response is to question the wisdom of mediating field research with this kind of technology. When I'm carrying out user research I try not to attract attention. This isn't exactly discrete. Have you seen the size of this thing? The sketch puts it at about the same dimensions as a closed MacBook Pro. From my experience with tablet computing, carrying this thing around would get tiring very quickly. I'm also not sure about tying the orientation of the camera to the writing surface; I can't imagine they both have the same optimal angle. Give me a moleskin notebook and a cameraphone. // jeff . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Jerome - No hoax, Charles Jorgensen of NASA has been work on subvocalization technology for several years: Even when reading or speaking to oneself with or without actual lip or facial movement, biological signals arise. While using the NASA subvocal system, a person thinks of a phrase and talks to himself so quietly that it can't be heard; despite that, the tongue and vocal cords receive speech signals from the brain that are detected and analyzed using a small electrode placed on the throat - http://thefutureofthings.com/articles.php?itemId=28/58/ Also, with regard to the retro design, the speech-to-text/text-to-speech functionality of the concept inspired us to the throwback design of the old Speak Spell - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speak__Spell_(game) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
