Extremely well put. Consider the brain a programmable cache. Sort of bidirectional, having experiences makes things easy to interpret. We can't just override biology easily.. but we can bend it to our will, with routine and logic. Such as memory training, muscle memory. Placebo effect is just more of the same really, within uncertainties probability takes over because it is efficient.
I was expecting there'd be a focus on accessibility - making UIs legible for people who are partially sighted in various ways including colourblindness and nearsightedness (or otherwise unable to resolve fiddly tiny toolbar icons). One of those areas where a rising tide lifts all boats, surely? I appreciated the points on oversaturated bright colours being tiring for normally-sighted people and certainly prefer subdued desaturated themes myself
Well this talk is about the basics of gestalt theory, information hierarchy and elementary UI/UX … the hot take illustrating the current problem. Aka having a button in the perfect contrast ratio with variable fonts, dark mode and at the wrong place or with none anticipatory functionally is exactly the situation many dev only teams find themselves with. You can measure most accessibility features (contrast, size, screen reader friendliness etc etc) but not so easily if an interface even makes sense. But that knowledge is the precursor for any target group related adoption.
12:00 Freudian slip most likely. See above about how the brain works. Mind leads, body follows. Try to do too much at once, you end up sticking some data in the wrong place and spitting out 10 instead of 8. Note there is a 10 on screen..

I don't get the elevator panel example. the actual panel is very elevator-panel-aesthetic apart from the weird flame evac instruction motif. whereas the junction box with a button and a Dymo label looks more like a bodged doorbell than anything associated with elevators to me

yep a whole other rabbit hole.. much respect to people who do a good job on such things

Thank you, great talk
Why are you showing a picture of Windows 8 when you're talking about Windows 10?

Just a mistake on my part. I meant to say Windows 8.
Windows 10 does actually share some of the inappropriate use of color, though.
Very interesting presentation. Learned alot
