Notes

In a previous article, I created a concept for in-car climate controls focusing on simple, physical controls. I've now found the time to turn this concept into reality through a rotary dial with dynamic haptic feedback. Along the way, I tested what makes dials feel intuitive, explored haptic design principles, and compared my approach to what carmakers are doing today.
