anthropologist and interaction design
I came across an interesting article on how culture is gaining recognition as an important factor in mobile usable interface design. The article dwells on the emerging role of anthropologist in understanding human interaction with both computers and mobiles.
It is nice to see the role of anthropologist in designing human experiences is getting the attention it deserves. Organization like Ivrea Interaction has long brought the understanding of anthropologists to address the evolving interaction-design needs of humans.
You can read an old interview of Jay Melican, on the same subject.
