Awards take in place in August and
one of the winners makes use of
haptics to create a novel interface for
users. Diebold's Vectra machine allows
users to feel their way around an
interface on an ATM machine.
Diebold's haptic-enhanced ATM is a
concept that enables user navigation
without the use of the traditional ATM
input mechanisms such as keypad.
The device is designed with visually
impaired and illiterate people in
people, while still being usable by a
wider audience.
Diebold, who won a bronze medal for
this design, currently have one of the
most successful ATM product lines with
the Opteva family of ATMs, but are
looking at ways to expand usability and
security by improving their products.
Motorola's RAZR V3 won a gold medal
for design excellence at the awards.
The IDEA awards will be held August
27, 2005 at the IDSA 2005 National
Conference in Washington, DC.
