Monitoring Dalager

Jason Fried from 37signals talks right now on Reboot about the problems that occur when physical objects like phones and digicams are pictured alone and out of context on white backgrounds. People don’t have any way to relate to the psysical feel of the objects.
It’s about letting people relate to the objects - giving them a perspective.
Products could/should be placed in a stilleben (still life) with everyday known objects - i.e. a box of mints or an average woman hand.

My thoughts on this:
It’s really Online phenomenology a la Maurice Merleau-Ponty. How to make people relate to a thing by connecting a new thing (the camera) to an object, that they already have a bodily experience with (box of mints). Bringing it into the real.

So it shouldn’t be nescessary to go down the VR-glove path to bring the real world to the web. I think this a good and true observation.

And then an in-depth talk about web usabiity interaction problems. [imagine a lot of examples, some of them quite funny ;-) ]
