“Designing Calm Technology” – Presentation by Amber Case

Designing Calm Technology
In a world where attention is our scarcest resource, how do we create technology that enhances rather than disrupts our lives?
This talk explores the principles of calm technology – a design philosophy where devices know when to step forward and when to fade into the background. Drawing from historical concepts and modern challenges, we’ll examine practical approaches to designing technology that respects human attention while maintaining its utility.
Attendees will learn strategies for creating products that strike the right balance between automation and human agency, ensuring technology fulfils its original promise of augmenting our capabilities without demanding constant engagement.
Amber Case is presenting this talk at beyond tellerrand Düsseldorf 2025, taking place on 5 and 6 May 2025.
