- 22. Design Thinking refers to the methods and processes for investigating ill-defined problems, acquiring information, analyzing knowledge, and positing solutions in the design and planning fields. As a style of thinking, it is generally considered the ability to combine empathy for the context of a problem, creativity in the generation of insights and solutions, and rationality to analyze and fit solutions to the context. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_thinking

- 81. Interaction Choreography by Senior Principal Design Technologist Jared Ficklin User interaction with technology is going above the glass. You no longer need an explicit tool or even direct manipulation to drive a user interface. With the ability of technology, like the Microsoft Kinect, to see users’ movements in space, gestures are being added to traditional methods in new layers of interaction. Designing for this new layer of interaction requires new thinking about dexterity, ergonomics, and whether someone might feel silly or offensive with certain gestures. We are so involved in this space right now, that we’ve had to move our design technologists’ desks to create enough room for all the hand waving design. http://designmind.frogdesign.com/blog/frogs-2012-technology-trend-predictions.html
