We had a great time at our 30th year celebration last evening at East Cliff Brewery. It was great to see many friends, past staff members, clients (old and current) and associate firms. I'm embarrassed to to say that I was having such a good time I forgot to take photos! Here are a few shots snapped by Dave Diepersloot. If you attended the event and took some photos, please send us some via [email protected] so we can add them to our album. Thanks again to everyone who shared in the celebration and thanks to East Cliff Brewing Company for accommodating us at their wonderful new tap room.

Mr. Fischer, an obsessive tinkerer, created a wall anchor that’s used by millions and the first synchronized camera flash, an idea that came to him when trying to photograph his newborn daughter.

IDE Co-founder and President, Dave Moriconi, was invited to speak in the Medical Wearables Panel Discussion, at the Wearable Technology Show this week in Santa Clara:

Dave spoke of the importance of Human Factors in product design, particularly in products developed for the sick and elderly.

Technology can vastly improve our lives, but only if we can use the technology in an intuitive, predictable, and comfortable way. Intuitive button layouts, smooth contours to improve comfort, and legible print are examples of features that can make a huge difference to the usability of a medical product.

We'd like to congratulate Dave on successfully bringing a human-centered perspective to the panel discussion!

In spite of the fact that IDE is in Scotts Valley and the Scotts are known for their love of plaid, it was simply an awkward moment when engineering manager Dave Diepersloot and Design Director Raphael Hebert arrived on the red carpet this morning with the same plaid outfits.
