SIMPLICITY
Director: John Maeda Contact: Amna C. Carreiro SIMPLICITY is an experimental research program focused on developing technologies for designs that are simpler to understand, easier to use, and, ultimately, more enjoyable. This goes well beyond removing buttons, slimming down screens, and shrinking interfaces to fit into the palms of our hands. It is a radical reexamination of ways to break free from the intimidating complexity of today's technology and the frustration of information overload. It is inventing a future where less is more. |
