Alternative Interfaces
Tuesday, June 30th 2026
You might need different views, interfaces or navigation for different purposes. Similar to data analysis where you would have different kinds of diagrams to understand different things. What is the goal or the need of the person using the interface? What connections do you want to make? Is it on a semantic level or something totally different?
Sketching and Documentation
When developing different systems it is interesting to have the option to switch between them. Like here on the top-right. Or here in the view panel. Not only to have different view modes but that way you can also see the process and the exploration of the topic.
Can modern analog interfaces provide a gateway to programming? I’m thinking of the music cubes at Rudolfplatz in Cologne from my childhood. The cubes were music loops you could place together to create songs. What other physical controllers are out there, and what else could be developed?
Away from the screen — the goal is to work using with haptic
