Vintage Interactions
I’ve recently became enamored with vintage office machines. I’ve caught a bit of eBay fever – 8 years late according to my colleagues – from bidding on and winning an old adding machine, a 302 Series Telephone (designed by Henry Dreyfuss), and a turn-of-the-century Royal typewriter. Like many others, I find vintage devices appealing because their operation is mostly self-apparent.

by Michael Wiklund and Stephen Wilcox
"This book should be on the shelf of ayone involved in the development of medical products. Today, devices are getting more complex while caregivers as a whole are much less experienced. User-centered interface design has to make up the difference and this book gives you a plan."
