Studying the design of everyday things

Links: Contemporary takes on everyday things and an interesting interface project

, , , , ,

Two links to englishrussia.com, the first submitted from dantesoft is a series of everyday things with some contemporary redesigns, including this hour-glass watch.

The second I found in my Usability feeds and thought I'd share. It's a "3-D touchpad" that doesn't really require touch- but you can hover your hands over. It looks like you can embed this under a keyboard and would be (according to the creator) inexpensive to implement. Difficult to imagine this replacing a mouse, but definitely nice for gestures! Very interesting
