As new technology is developed, we are constantly reevaluating the place of possessions (such as electronics) in our lives. Times are changing, and what makes our possessions valuable to us no longer depends on the things themselves. More than ever, we value the interactivity of things in our lives.
Interaction design will undoubtedly keep pace with the development of digital technology, advancing rapidly. But these advances must not overwhelm users. Instead, we must imagine the ideal role of technology in our lives. For digital content to play an enriching role in our lives, we must seek the kind of interaction design that reflects a new value system, one that strikes a chord with our senses and sensibilities.
Next-generation design development at Sony is focused on creating effective interaction design, tried and tested through rapid prototyping, in order to shape new lifestyles.

What's physical X wonderfl?
wonderfl added "physical computing linkage" feature, through collaboration with the project team at IAMAS lead by Shigeru Kobayashi.
Physical computing is an area of study that pursue physicalization with hardware devices other than typical personal computer accessory, such as keyboard or mouse.
Though you may think it's very difficult to build up something with hardware, especially if you don't have experience in electric circuits, we made it easy. We provide you physical computing environment that you can try with light heart.
For those who have hardware already, wonderfl is a place to make it public and share, and get feedback. For those who don't have hardware, get all information you

iPhone applications are hotter than ever. So how do these applications stand out and get noticed?
One great way to do this is by creating a great website design that showcases these applications in the best possible way.
These sites are usually very focused, professional and clean. You will also notice that there’s usually a video displayed in an iPhone casing that shows how these applications are used.
In this post we bring you 40 excellent websites designed to showcase iPhone and iPod touch applications.

それも、マイケル本人による他のダンサーよりいち早くの抜擢であった。
夢は叶ったようにも思える。しかし物語はこれからなのだ。
結局「Kento Mori」はマイケル・ジャクソンと契約する事は出来なかった。
彼自身もマドンナに直接メールをするなど双方の調整に努力し、これもまた異例の事ではあるがマイケル本人がマドンナ本人に直接電話をし「Kentoを使わせて欲しい」と交渉したが、それすらもマドンナには通用しなかった。マドンナもまた「Kento Mori」を必要としており、マドンナはプロフェッショナルだったという事でもある。彼はマドンナのバックダンサーとして踊るしかない状況となったのである。そこで舞い込んだ「キング・オブ・ポップ」マイケル・ジャクソンの訃報。
マドンナは直前に急遽プログラムを変更しマイケルとマイケルを夢見て生きてきた「Kento Mori」の為にスペシャルプログラムを組んだ。
マイケル・ジャクソンの扮装をさせ、マイケルの名曲「Billie Jean」や「Wanna Be Startin’ Something」に合わせ、「Kento Mori」にソロダンスを踊らせたのである。

If you have a hard time crawling out of bed in the morning, it could be that your body is biologically programmed to start the day later.
Some people who appear to have insomnia are biologically night owls, one expert says.Some people who appear to have insomnia are biologically night owls, one expert says.
Experts say a spectrum of natural sleeping and waking rhythms exists, ranging from extreme morning people to extreme "night owls."
A new study examines how morning people compare with night owls on a strength test and looks at what other physiological processes may contribute to their performance.
Researchers tested participants' leg muscle strength at various points in the day. They looked at nine "early birds" and nine "night owls," who were classified as such based on a questionnaire.
Surprisingly, morning people's strength tends to remain constant throughout the day, but night owls have peak performance in the evening, said researchers from the University of Alberta in Can

電車に間に合うと思って歩いていて、間に合わなかったことはありませんか？
このアプリは指定した時間に間に合うために現在歩いていなければいけない場所を教えてくれるアプリです。
まずは必要なデータを計測するために、出発地から目的地まで経路を記録しながら歩いてみます。
それからはアラームに、目的地に着きたい時間を指定すればデータから逆算して出発しなければいけない時間にアプリが起動します。
自動起動後は現在の位置と自分が歩いていなければいけない位置を同時に表示(レースゲームのゴーストのように)。
もし出発が遅れても画面のマークに追いついたらあとは歩いて大丈夫。
アラームは曜日指定で設定できます。

Density Design is a research and teaching program. Born as a laboratory course in the final year of the Master Degree in Communication Design at the Politecnico di Milano, it develops into a research group.
Using complexity as a keyword to understand reality, combining it with a continuous research for information aesthetics and representation, DensityDesign explores the emergent relationships among communication design, information visualization and complex systems.
It moves in an emergent multidisciplinary field that could be called Space of Actions. Established in September 2004 DensityDesign is a platform for verifying the potential of communication artefacts in helping decision making processes and the Communication Design ability to facilitate dialogues within participatory actions. -
