The political hot potato that surrounds the arrest, custody and legal battle of Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, is set to run and run and I’m sure by Christmas, the story will still be headline news.

The Charlotte based UX meetup took place last week with a session entitled Inexpensive Usability Testing – A Very Jane Goodall Experience.

When I first saw the news that Google Maps’ Street View had gone 3D I thought it was an April Fools’ Day gag. But low and behold it’s actually a reality — and a pretty well executed reality at that. The above image is of Oxford Circus, London and shows off the effect pretty well. So grab your 3D specs and have a virtual wander around. Read the rest of this entry »

We recently launched a brand new website for Depiction Lab, a design consultancy specialising in the creation of branded environments for the retail, commercial and leisure sectors.
