Human Error Workshop: How Integrating Errors into Common Interfaces Can Challenge Design Thinking

Today we are often confronted with computer interfaces that are built to be “easy to use”, but in reality, are more confusing than ever. “Human Error” consists of software projects and hardware devices that integrate elements of human error into their design to provoke and materialize human frailty when it comes to operating digital devices and interfaces. Perhaps by designing these "human" elements into user interfaces we will move closer to creating machines that could pass the "Turing Test".

During this session I will discuss several of my projects examining Human Error, and then I will start a brainstorming session / workshop among participants for people to design their own projects that integrate human error into common physical and digital interfaces.
