HOW TO EVALUTE CALM TECHNOLOGY
Having completed and summarised my research into the fundamentals of calm technology in a condensed infographic in last week’s blog post. Now it is time to identify and evaluate existing examples of Calm Technology. To find best practices & what they are doing right or where there is still potential to be calmer.
In order to have a starting point and to do the evaluation in a comparable way, a tool needs to be used.
In this case the Calm Interaction Evaluation Tool created by Amber Case and shown in her book. The tool and how it works is shown below. So starting next week, examples of calm technology will be evaluated using this tool and then analysed in more detail depending on what is appropriate for each example.
