Ready for VR Designed Products? Design is.

Oculus Rift purchased by Facebook and Google’s got Cardboard, the question is only when augmented reality will emerge. And where will it emerge most easily? Retail.

 

 

In the detailed analysis of: Technology acceptance modeling of augmented reality at the point of sale we see the full underpinnings of the key technologies and design implications for such an undertaking. The question now is the ubiquity and mechanisms for which new design paradigms are able to emerge for the basic use of such systems and in a manner where people are unable to live without it. Where will this hit first? Who will it hit first? Children are the leaders.

When the Radio (Shack) Goes Fuzzy Even After A Redesign

With the innovation of electronics hardware being at the forefront of expansion in the early 20th century, Radio Shack soared. Now even with a redesign, the firm collapses. Why? Design Complexity. Here’s why.

In a recent article Inside RadioShack’s Slow-Motion Collapse we see the full story of how a market reactive firm, formally a market proactive firm, deigned itself right out of business. But why? The breakdown of the experimenter due to simplistic design no longer being at the fingertips of innovators and inventors. Why? The sheer complexity of design has made tinkering, designing and inventing out of the reach of most and certainly the average and very clearly detailed in The Appearance of Creative Behavior in Later Stage Design Processes but not if design thinking is embedded in the retail experience.

Design for “Intended and Anticipated” not Needed? Yes.

The attitude of “I’ll know it when I see it” or “They don’t know what they want until it exists” is usually at conflict with investors demands for ROI risk reduction. How can you beat this roadblock. Here’s how.

 

In Which Research in Design Creativity and Innovation? the breakdown of “new products should be designed for intended and anticipated consumer usages” shows the attitude of what people don’t even know they know they need. Why do designers do this? What is the purpose of creating what has not been created? Behavioral changes for philosophical vision and firms that do this succeed.

Design the Firm Just as Important as Design the Object

Often we hear, so how can you design a firm which embodies innovation? of course with “innovation” being mangled into everything “Apple” Here’s how.

 
In the recent details of Making It Happen: Beyond Theories of the Firm to Theories of Firm Design the outline gives the sense that an innovation design firm is separate from a firm that focuses on developing new products and services that are not currently in the market. This is not the definition of innovation. Starting here, we see the value of encoding design thinking directly in the DNA of a design centric organization. A great model for company creation.
