NotesIn 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.

NotesWhen
doing user interface design, it is possible to make the interface to be
user friendly (less user control) or user empowered (more user control).

NotesI can understand the impulse here: Most scrollbars are kind of ugly. Even the skinny, rounded gray bar that Apple invented for the iPhone isnât the prettiest interface element ever designed. But as unpleasant as they may be to look at, scrollbars serve a purpose on a busy screen: They tell you, at a glance, where you are in a list or a document. Because most modern scrollbars are proportional to the size of the document youâre looking at, they also give you a sense of how much lies off-screenâthe smaller the scrollbar, the larger the document. And when you donât see a scrollbarâor when the scrollbar is dimmedâthis usually means thereâs nothing outside the screen to look at.Unfurl

Notes"Science Fiction movies have been a source for speculation about the future of technology and human computer interaction. This paper presents a survey of different kinds of interaction designs in movies during the past decades and relates the techniques of the films to existing technologies and prototypes where possible. The interactions will be categorized with respect to their domain of real-life applications and also evaluated in regard to results of current research in human computer interaction."Unfurl
