In this article, Bill Verplank echoes Poggenpohl’s praise of Interactive design as design of the future. This principle is applicable to situations our group experienced throughout the wayfinding project. For instance, when we conducted prototype testing on sight, we received valuable information from the people in the environment.
Another key point Bill outlined is the concept of “extensions”. He classified anything between him and his environment as an extension. This concept of extensions really broadened my view on what is capable of being designed.
Bill also commented on the practice of integrating computers. Because of the large capacity for function and information, computers have changed the game completely. Computers are electronic, emotionless brains. And as time goes on, we will begin to see these electronis brains in more and more settings.
Because the self is a mirror of the brain, the evolution of the computer will help to create a future to mirror the individual.
