The Nethernet

Humansized was chosen by GameLayers Inc. to build the Firefox extension employed by their passively multiplayer game The Nethernet.
This unconventional massively multiplayer online game merges your web life with an alternate, hidden reality. Player behavior generates characters and alliances, triggers interactions in the environment and earns the player points to spend online beefing up their inventory. Suddenly the Internet is not a series of untouchable exhibits, but rather a hackable, rewarding environment!

P2P Philanthropy

Pledgie is an in-house project that allows anyone to raise funds online for meaningful causes. There is no charge for the service. Instead, Pledgie's goal is to create an online version of the personal, one-on-one interactions that traditionally are at the heart of successful grassroots volunteerism.

Giving Palm A Hand

Humansized worked with Palm behind the scenes on the information architecture and user experience for several key features of the Palm Pre ®, including Bluetooth and WI-FI networking. This shot shows an early prototype of the device with some of the menu interfaces.

Ruby Midwest

Process

Albert Einstein had it right when he said, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler”. A good design should reduce the user's work, not the uses of your software.

The spirit of that concept is central to our process, which aids in the creation of succinct, reliable and enjoyable software, without losing the specifics of your needs.

Our process can be summed up into these five steps:
understand, make, deploy, measure, iterate.
