The meaning of "Iris"
Information experience (IX) is about communicating with the user to maximize the user experience (UX).
In Greek mythology, Iris (/ˈaɪrɪs/) was the personification of the rainbow and a messenger god, normally portrayed in art with wings and carrying a vase. Iris was a goddess of sea and sky, her father being a marine god (Thaumas), and her mother, "the amber", being a cloud-nymph (Elektra).
Iris would deliver messages to the Olympian gods across a rainbow bridge between the sea and sky, and would replenish the clouds with water from the sea. She would also carry water from the River Styx whenever the gods had to take an oath. Any god who lied was rendered unconscious for a year.
​
We chose "Iris" because we see IX is the bridge between the product and the user. Without information, there is no user experience.
