Yarışma Özeti(Summary):
THEME: "The Digital Bridge to the Human
World: USER-First Design"
The digital age allows for the first time the realization of truly
human-centred products; adaptable, intuitive, and intelligent. Design
will be instrumental in the cultural assimilation of digital technology,
because it is the primary way of experiencing it in everyday life.
In this context we invite proposals for smart, innovative products that
re-create living by exploring the interaction between digital technology
and human values.

New information technologies should
be based on the needs of ordinary people. Developing
technologies for their own sake is no longer good enough, which is
one of the reasons why SONOFON has launched a project entitled
"Technology for People".
One important campaign element will
be a 29-country international competition on this theme.
"Information technologies should be based on peoples' needs
and be so easy to use that they offer everybody greater freedom
and flexibility. We want to see a far greater number of
technological winners," says Ulrik Bülow, managing director
of SONOFON. "The billions of dollars invested in IT
over the next few years will lead to significant changes for
millions of people.
Encouraging technological
development to revolve around people will provide a historic
opportunity to avoid technological losers - with all the human and
social costs they would entail," says Ulrik Bülow. The
competition encourages engineers, designers, sociologists and
philosophers all over the world to delve into potential new
interrelationships between technology, design, user interfaces and
human nature.
The winners will be those best able
to show how new technologies can be based on human needs.
The winners will be selected by an international panel of judges.
