The Importance of Sound Design for a remarkable Customer Experience
|
Does coffee taste better when your coffee machine produces a particular sound? According to industrial designer Elif Özcan Vieira and the findings in her Ph.D. thesis, the sound a product makes is an integral part of that product. The auditory experience of product users is not just "a sensory response to an acoustical stimulus." In fact, users contribute characteristics, such as trustworthiness or a high standard of quality, to products on the basis of the sounds they produce. Product sound

Mondial de l’auto 2008

Dimanche dernier (le 1er dimanche) je me suis rendu au salon de l’automobile à Porte de Versailles. C’était bondé, je vous recommande de plutôt y aller à la fin… Contrairement à ce que l’on voit à la télé, les voitures vertes, électriques, à air comprimé, etc ne sont pas ce qu’on voit le plus. Au contraire, puissance et design sont toujours sur le devant de la scène, tant mieux c’est ce que je veux voir si je vais dans un salon automobile. En gros allez-y si vous voulez : -voir des gosses

Lamborghini Estoque 概念车
|
Lamborghini（兰博基尼）在2008巴黎车展上展出了 Estoque 概念车，Estoque 是一辆引擎前置的四门四座豪华跑车型轿车，这种新车型也或将是几大品牌下一个豪华级别的竞争领地，包括 Porsche 的 Panamera，BMW 的 CS，Aston Martin Rapide 以及早已上市的 Maserati Quattroporte。Estoque 采用来自 Gallardo LP560-4 的 V10 引擎，长5.15米，宽1.99米，高仅1.35米，轴距达3.01米。习惯 Lamborghini 跑车那种蓄势待发毫不妥协的外型对 Estoque 可能会难以很快适应，虽然曲线依旧锋利，但一般“典雅”和 Lamborghini 总是很难连在一起。Lamborghini Estoque 概念车的很多细节设计的非常出色，也传达出它的意大利风格，比如轮辋，风翼上的绿白红的细小标记等等。下面是 Lamborghini Estoque 概念车的大图，请欣赏。 [Show as slideshow]

Lamborghini Urus, rebatizado como Estoque Preferia Urus, pelo menos está mais perto da tradição de sempre dar nomes de touros aos carros da marca. Urus é a alemão arcaico para uma raça de gado que existiu na Europa até 1627. Já Estoque, é aquela espada usada para matar os bichos na tourada. Só faltava esse carro afundar a marca. Só eu achei isso, ou esse carro tem o jeitão do Maverick? Outras marcas tradicionalmente esportivas também vão lançar modelos com quatros portas: Porsche Paname
