User.Digital is our digital interactions lab
Throughout the history of the studio our co-founder Matthieu Savary has cultivated a passion for interaction design (IxD) and our tradition of research & development in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
It's fun, and it brings in a lot of insights about what the future holds and how we can improve our relations to machines and to one another. After all, that's what service design is all about: we enjoy turning complicated things into accessible, desirable things, for the majority and for the greater good.
Digital & creative tools
One of our passions has to do with making tools, and giving the chance to non-specialists to realize things they thought were impossible to make by themselves.
Since 2006 – even before User Studio was founded – we've been developing creative tools. Tools for artists and enthusiasts, tools to create & play music, create images, interpret movement. Tools for small kids, tools for big kids.
Tangible interactions
It's very often that there is no better way to design a creative tool than to use tangible interaction principles.
As an example, we've created a now famous controller known as the Tapioca Toys – it's actually more of a category of controllers that we invented from scratch, the DIRTI (Dirty Tangible Interfaces), where the interaction is messy and dirty but also infinitely nuanced and expressive… like the real world.
