About me
This is a blog by Nicolas Nova. I undertake user/field research at LIFTlab: I study people's practices as well as usage of technologies and turn them into insights, ideas, prototypes or recommendations to inform design and foresight.
This blog is a selection of the material that I collect, especially in fields such as mobility, urban environments, digital entertainment and new interfaces. I am also part of the near future laboratory and teach user researchin different design schools.

The visual “you are here” icon on a map is usually pretty conspicuous (because finding that is usually the root of all other work on the map) but this symbol doesn’t seem so either visually or tangibly. I would’ve thought it might be raised further than the others …
