As computing becomes more ubiquitous in our objects, designers need to be more aware of how to design meaningful interactions into electronically enhanced objects. At the University of Washington, a class of junior Interaction Design majors is exploring this question. These pages chronicle their efforts.

Skyler & Chris Knolling

Hey everyone, knolled object in the house! It's an old tape recorder from the 80s, called codaphone. Super cute, right?! The weird thing about this tape recorder is that it's main features are rather unnecessary. In its time, a lot of consumer goods were packed with features that didn't fully considering the usability. This might explain the inconsistent leds in the circuit board, weird lock system, and unnecessarily memo function. It's pretty interesting taking apart objects that we once trendy products and are so useless today
