CEO as Product Tester

CrunchGear’s Peter Ha spent some quality time with James Dyson at his company laboratories. Dyson talks about design and engineering principles, and the value in personally working his products over. The limitations of the blip.tv player prevented me from embedding my favorite video in the series above, but you can view it here. The video is of Dyson giving an impromptu product test, with mixed results. It is great to see such a design legend come across as totally human, and a little bit fumbly.

“Anyone developing new products and new technology needs one characteristic above all else: hope.”

James Dyson

More video from Ha’s visit here. I will say that the blip.tv video player is a TOTAL pain in the ass.
