You know, there are not that many things greater than seeing something you worked on being put to practical use. I think the only bad thing would be if they were complaining about it. Here, they are absolutely loving it. Granted, I only did a little bit of the work and there is a large team of great designers responsible. I was in on it and loved being able to contribute.
I think the visuals are stunning as well. I love seeing how fluid the animations are. Lovely!
I have been off of the Surface Team for months but I talk to the current members almost daily. I’m still doing Natural User Interface work, just not directly for them. Its so great to see what is still coming out of that great team over there.

About Ron: I am an Interaction Designer and Product Designer based in Manhattan. I have about 15 years of experience in the field and have been blessed with many great opportunities. I recently left 6 years at Microsoft and work at Bloomberg. I do Graphics and Photography because I love them and spend way too much time in Photoshop for it to be healthy. |
Hi, Ron
I’d be interested in learning more about your work at Microsoft. Thanks for the compliment about my blog! I subscribed to your blog today.
I’d like to see web browsers optimized for touch, multi-touch, gesture, and 3D. Certainly you must be thinking about that at Microsoft, given Natal, Surface, etc.
