Entering a hot yoga studio is a transformative experience. Powerful atmosphere of warmth and quietness induces peace and calmness and prepares the unity of body and mind.
The studio appeals with its simplicity. Bare-bone design eliminates possible eye distractions, allowing for a more focused practice. Any equipment is secured out of site in a hardly visible closet. Wider than it is long, the floor plan guides practitioners to set up side by side with enough room for one other person behind so that everyone can see the mirror and make posture adjustments accordingly. Hardwood floors, contemporary glass doors with translucent valance and spot lighting create an elite aesthetic one would enjoy. Cleanliness makes the space inviting and comfortable for relaxation. The absence of visual obstructions and unnecessary elements allows the sole focus on yoga practice, making the studio design successful on the principal of the Ockham’s Razor. Through simple but beautiful aesthetic, the design of the studio reiterates its function, thereby making the space appealing.
Moksha yoga studio was successfully designed in that it is effective for optimal hot yoga performance, as well as it caters to user’s preference. Not only simple in design, but also modest in size, the studio feels more unified and allows better visibility of the instructor, while dimmed lighting induces an intimate vibe. Hence, the studio achieves its efficiency by providing appropriate components for optimal individual performance. Along with the pleasing aesthetic and soothing atmosphere, the studio is sure to attract permanent customers.
Using an Oral-B Electric Toothbrush is an experience that stands apart from the conventional toothbrush we know, due to careful manipulation of ergonomics, ease of access, operation and comfort in the design process. Without any unnecessary components, this toothbrush uses a chargeable battery to clean your teeth with moving bristles. This design includes a base charger that accommodates the easy to hold brush, and takes up very little space thanks to its upright position. The interface of the brush includes a timer and a light that indicates battery levels and charging/idle states. The brush is divided into two parts so that the brush end detaches from the handle, allowing for multiple users to attach their personal brushes to the battery. The simplicity of this design makes it very easy to use, providing a button where the thumb is normally placed to operate the rotating bristles. The aesthetic design of the brush is not decorative or exaggerated, and it may appeal to most dental hygienists because of its stark white colour and smooth texture.

This experience made me feel resigned, depressed, hopeless, and then suddenly reversed it all so that I was amazed, empowered, and hopeful. It made me feel like everything is possible, and no matter what the situation, we can always change it if we have the will to do so.
PART 4
I found this experience compelling because the interaction with the user is not interactive in the traditional sense, but rather an interaction with emotions. In this way, the output of the presentation is constant, but the interpretation of it will vary greatly between viewers.
It is a clever yet simple construction of words and phrases that can be read forwards and backwards and both ways makes complete sense. Not only does it make complete sense, but also makes a profound argument that leaves the viewer both motivated and hopeful.
I think one of the aspects that makes this experience so powerful is that the words are very common, understandable by all, but with deep meaning. Thus, it is simple, applying the principle of Ockham’s Razor, as opposed to using more complex language. This, along with the various delivery methods used (on screen text, read aloud, visual cues of reversal, voice intonations, etc.), make the experience accessible to a wider audience.
Clear voice, legible font faces, uncluttered black background, voice emphasis, pace of reading & scroll text, and colour choices give a clean design feel, all contributing to the aesthetic usability of the presentation. If a presentation is not visually appealing, most times, I will not share it with others, and so the number of views here, may be a good indication of the usability of the video. Are people viewing it often and sharing it with friends? How does it compare to other videos which are not as visually appealing? This video was posted in 2007 and has over 15 million views! Another version of the same poem posted in 2009 has only around 80,000.
In this case, “performance” is not exactly a metric to be measured in the same way a keyboard might be (i.e. Dvorak vs. Qwerty). Reading or scrolling the text faster may get the message across quicker, but viewers require information to be relayed at a certain pace for it to reach them effectively, thus demonstrating that preference is more useful than performance. Making the text smaller to display more on the screen may provide more information at once, but will it be too overwhelming for a user to read if they see how long it is at the beginning? Will they pay as much attention? My guess would be no.

Rammstein is an industrial metal band from Germany. Their live performance is one of the best in the world because they put many entertainment elements into their show. Their live performance is unique and full of excitement, so the audience would feel completely different experience compare with other rock shows.
Their loud and powerful music is very fit into their industrial factory and war field like stage design. They use fireworks and the lighting of the stage to draw the audience’s attention. They did a lot of wild and dangerous actions on stage to make the whole performance more exciting. The audiences would so exciting when they see the vocalist using fire gun to shoot the keyboard player, wearing a wing that can shoot fire, and riding a machine that shooting papers to audiences. All the design of the stage, clothing, and make up are really suit in industrial metal culture. Their music reflects the themes of their song such as war, industrial workers, and Nazi. I saw their live performance once in Air Canada Centre. The audiences were really enjoyed the music and their crazy performance. I felt the heat from the fire when the vocalist using the fire gun. All the audiences were screaming and head banding while the band playing on stage. The audiences were screaming encore and they did not want the show ends. The videos show what Rammstein’s live performances look like and how the audiences enjoyed their show.
Similar to the design of the “mood ring”, this 2Hearts System controls music, emotions, and moods, through two heartbeats of humans interacting with each other. By using someone’s heartbeat and through that their feelings and tension levels, the 2Hearts System can allow two people to reveal themselves musically. My initial attraction to this interactive design is simply surrounded by the allowance of expressing true feelings without filtering. Since it is hard for someone to control or change his or her feelings, it would become somewhat challenging for someone to deceive the system.
Simple, enjoyable, useful, accessible, desirable, and powerful are all valid descriptions of this inter-relative design. Seeing as anyone who has a heartbeat can use this 2Heart System, it can be considered straightforward, practical, and available. To be able to express your emotions and arousals to another person makes this design pleasurable, attractive, and influential. The happiness and artistic qualities it promotes are the main importance of this communication system.
The 2Heart System is not only usable to many but it is also aesthetically beautiful because of its ability to hear and see another’s emotions and to be able to map his or her feelings out. When regarding performance and preference, the 2Heart System has the ability to monitor the two people who are using the computer-operated procedure and draws out a map of his or her interaction with the design. Overall, this experience design product is successful in providing accessibility, performance, usability, and simplicity.
ball mirror makes a grey scale portrait of user’s appearance. Person standing in front of one of these pieces is instantly reflected on its surface. The mechanical mirrors all have video cameras, motors and computers on board and produce a soothing sound as the viewer interacts with them. These digital mirrors explore the line between physical and digital, nature and technology. The digital mirror used a warm and natural material such as wood to portray the abstract notion of digital pixels. It is very easy to use and participate with this digital mirror's own purpose and to provide enjoyable experience to user.
I believe the environmental design of the landscaping was well thought out. Having a large arena and different scenario going with different arenas, each landscape places the player in the proper feel of what the objective may be. I was already hooked onto the game once started and learning the controls for the game was very easy that at once it became automatic for myself. Everything is very basic and easy to follow and overall I would completely give my thumbs up to AVA.
