Developing design pattern libraries is a compelling and powerful user experience exercise that can pay long-term dividends for companies seeking to standarize their interfaces. RDVO has completed a number of projects in this space.
Take a look at an overview of the service and how your company can use this exercise to improve their applications and experiences.
Learn more about RDVO’s product and software UI services.
RDVO will be hosting the monthly meet-up of Boston’s chapter of the Interaction Design Association (IxDA).
The event will feature a workshop/class on Adobe Flex for Designers, presented by Jesse Beach, a Boston IxDA group leader.
The event starts around 7:00 PM on Thursday, March 27. There will be free food and plenty of opportunities for socializing.
RDVO was recently invited to take place in Microsoft’s Phizzpop design challenge. The challenge is held in several cities including Boston, San Francisco, Austin, and New York. The invite-only event event includes a design contest where top agencies are asked to solve a complex design solution using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) — Microsoft’s new supercharged application platform.
Several RDVO team members will receive intensive WPF team training after which they’ll have only two days to define, design, and build a working application UI using WPF. The winning company in Boston gets a bunch of free gear and a free trip to South By Southwest.
We are pleased and proud to take advantage of opportunity. More information about the program can be found here.
Our sad blank walls have now come alive with help from Axiom Gallery’s corporate art program. Axiom, recently named “Best in Boston” by the Weekly Dig, is Boston’s only gallery dedicated exclusively to showcasing emerging and established artists working in new media.
We are currently displaying works from Mark Stock, a programmer, researcher, and artist who explores the boundary between the real and the unreal as it pertains to fluid dynamics, computer simulation, and visual perception. His work depicts scenes from the hidden world of fluid turbulence, and is created with custom software from his research.

RDVO just wrapped up an Abobe Flash-based product demo for PHT Corporation, a developer of electronic medical diaries delivered using Palm OS. The demo shows the application in action, and also walks users through the administrative setup and configuration.
This product is just one part of an extensive suite of digital tools that are driving a whole new user experience for communicating information for clinical trials and managing the large stores of data created.

We recently wrapped up an engagement with MedVentive, a medical software provider located around the corner in Cambridge. It’s a small site that’s designed to be a marketing tool for the company. The site was build entirely using web standards-compliant code.
In addition to the website, we also reworked the corporate identity and helped develop a series of updated print collateral. Take a look @ MedVentive.com.
We recently launched a new site for Radius Product Development, an great product/industrial design firm located here in Massachusetts. It’s a nifty little site that relies on some Flash tricks to auto-resize images and layouts.
The photography was provided by the Radius team and is what really gives the site something special. The decidedly “non-slick� approach gives the company a more down-to-earth and hands-on feel–setting it apart from some of their competitors.
Take a look at Sendio.com, a website we recently completed for an up-and-coming California startup. Sendio provides the I.C.E. Box, an enterprise anti-spam appliance that uses Sender Address Verification technology to block spam. It’s a great product that leverages some cutting-edge technology to block spam without the need for maintaining filters.
Like many of the sites we’ve been developing, Sendio.com is completely web standards compliant. Not a single table was harmed in the creation of the site.
We also developed the company’s new logotype and online brand. The mark has a little NASCAR-ish feel…but absolutely reflects the company’s personality and brand.
