Omar Rizwan on communicating with demos

Listen Later

Omar has worked at Dynamicland and built experimental computing interfaces like Hijack Your Feed and TabFS.  We talked about:

  • Communicating computing design principles through demos, rather than manifestos.
  • Embodying computational objects as things the user already knows how to manipulate, like files, screenshots, or pieces of paper.
  • What it takes to make a computing environment complete enough to live on.
  • Molding a temporary user interface that fits the current task.
