Crowdsourcing ID through internet forums? Really?
Posted in: Uncategorized
While I’m not quite sold, an article in Electronics Design, Strategy, News called “How to Get Near-Instant Market Research for your Next Product Design” claims the crowdsourcing of industrial design is becoming more and more feasible. The article’s case in point is David L. Jones’ calculator watch, which is currently going from sketch into something more refined, apparently based on the feedback of calculator watch geeks populating a forum at the online Museum of HP Calculators. (You can track the progress of this particular project here.)
The calculator is a fairly straightforward, rectilinear device with buttons on a grid. I’d be curious to see this “crowdsourced ID” applied on say, a cooking utensil in a forum full of chefs or similar.
