[Sigia-l] Magnetic Prototyping/Design Tool

[Benjamin Speaks]

SIGIA Compatriots:

Since many of us work in the web space I thought that you may find this
magnetic User Interface Design Tool Kit of some interest:

http://www.magments.com/

Basically, the kit is a user interface design tool that utilizes
predefined magnetic pieces on a backboard.  

The magnetic elements and provided backboard are dry marker friendly
(focus group users have really liked the flexibility) and allow for a
lot of different design possibilities. 

I have found the kit to be most effective when working directly with
clients, teaching interaction/information design concepts, usability
heuristics, and for "think-out-loud" brainstorming/conceptualization
sessions.  I'll be the first to acknowledge that for full-blow
production this kit isn't the best choice but it is another option for
those who like to conduct collaborative design sessions.

Quantities are extremely limited as our initial production was
small/short (a very long story).

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Ben Speaks
