My thumb is larger than the letters on my smartphone's virtual keyboard.

I find my smartphone keyboard very often opts for a space instead of the intended letters c, v, b, and n. It also opts for a . instead of the letter m.

There must be a way to deduce more accurately what I'm attempting to type? (Particularly when I backspace and then again get a space instead of a c, v, b, or n.)

Seeing @neauoire's paper computing explorations, I was reminded of an old idea I proposed at PaperCamp LDN back in 2009: Originally this was vaguely about using origami to create multi-purpose AR markers, but I then extended it to other use cases, some of which could be adapted and be even relevant today, e.g. as a form of proof-of-work, protection against AI crawlers or other form of access control.

Some possible approaches for different use cases:

1) Ask users to perform or series of simple folds and then check results by validating fold lines in the flat sheet paper via computer vision
2) Same as #1, but perform shape recognition/validation of fully folded result
3) Unfold a pre-shared (and pre-folded) origami object to check result by validating fold lines via computer vision
4) Provide instructions for multiple origami creations to create uniquely identifiable objects for computer vision based interactive environments

Number 1-3 are more or less about forms of proving physicality, work, membership. Number 4 is more about using origimi as fiducial markers for general interactions

Reflect, Interact, Argue: Studying Design

In times of so many specialisations in the area of design and an uncertain future due to the impact of AI in our profession and its education I believe in 3 main competences within a design study programme.

May I share my arguments with you in this article: medium.com/@stefan_woelwer/ref

I'm looking for a new design role!

My work friends (I’d like to believe) would say I’m helpful and smart. That I care about the people using what I design. Plus, I’m good at troubleshooting tricky group dynamics. To summarize: I’m fun to work with!

If you know anyone looking for a senior/staff/principle product designer, tell them to check out my BRAND NEW website and send me a message.

Thanks a million ✊

www.danritz.comDesigner, Researcher, ManagerHello. I'm Daniel Ritzenthaler. Most people call me Dan or Ritz. A designer since 2002. Along the way I've explored several research and management roles.

Time for a short #introduction ...

Child of the mid-late 90s 3DFPS-www-newsgroups-icq-linux frenzy, experienced the rise of web 2.0 when it felt like the fediverse feels now. This feeling is part of the reason why I'm here - call it midlife crisis 2.0.

Got a PhD in #InterfaceCulture , work as director of a MA in Sound Design, do #DesignResearch and also do freelance #SoundDesign and #interactiondesign . I also work im #MusicEducation with a focus on #digitality .

Gracias por su atención.
