Matt Jones takes a Heideggerian turn when he talks about design for being in the world, rather than being on the screen.
The “iPhone is a beautiful, seductive but jealous mistress that craves your attention, and enslaves you to its jaw-dropping gorgeousness at the expense of the world around you…[but] I was strongly convinced that [embodiment] was a direction that could take us down a new path from recreating desktop computer UIs on smaller and smaller surfaces, and create an alternative future for mobile interaction design that would be more about ‘being in the world’ than being in the screen.”
