I design interfaces

[Bram Fritz @bramfritz]

Paravents have been around us for thousands of years. As with the coming of the spatial computing age, we’re looking for natural ways to display and interact with digital layers in our environment. https://t.co/34r6FTAjFi

What if you could interact with the world by simply looking at it?

I teamed up with Modem creative studio oio to explore the capabilities of Snap’s AR Spectacles, designing an interface that empowers people to interact with their environment effortlessly just by looking.

@cgpov Unreal Engine. Would be great!

[Bram Fritz @bramfritz]

@imcalledandy Ah great! I’ll give this a try

[Bram Fritz @bramfritz]

@imcalledandy Hi Andy, thanks for the presentation at nab. I was wondering how you managed to export a UV pass out of redshift. Can’t find a way to get it to work..

@tobias_revell 👋 Sounds nice! Would like to hear more about it

This adaptive UI invokes ancient sundials, synthesizing personal health metrics to reflect an individual’s current state in the form of artificially-reproduced sunlight and shadows displayed on a room’s walls, and producing a calming effect in response to detected stress.

A more suitable approach to the domestic interface would move beyond the screen, incorporating design principles that better accommodate the humans who use these interfaces. Such an approach would be mindful, sensorial, adaptive, context-aware, and responsible.

Inspired by the traditional Chinese art of Dishu, this ambient UI writes an ephemeral haiku on bathroom wall tile every morning, providing info about that day's weather. The wall tile is actually a computer-controlled drip system that generates the haikus using clear water as ink

[Bram Fritz @bramfritz]

This particular UI draws upon the aesthetic of Japanese zen gardens, displaying the real-time locations of a household’s members by tracing elegant circular patterns on thin layers of pebble stones, with computer-guided metal ball bearings representing each individual.

I joined forces with Modem and Yujie Wang, human-computer interaction researcher at MIT to explore what a less intrusive, less demanding version of the user interface at home could be like.

@infonl Such a beautiful space! Lots of memories there. First internship ever :)

[Bram Fritz @bramfritz]

@cgpov Full wrinkle control! I could use that in my notebook as well. The paper materials look beautiful, congrats!

[Bram Fritz @bramfritz]

@sinosplice Hello John, I love all the Chinese Grammar Wiki books and would like to buy your newest book on my iPhone. Will the Upper Intermediate Wiki book be available on iBooks? Cheers

Working on fully dynamic simulations. Here’s an experiment.

.. Artists frequently tried to capture the turning point or ‘peripeteia’ in a story: the culmination of tension and dynamics, when an event takes an unexpected and often fatal turn” from ‘Baroque in Rome’ 2020 @rijksmuseum

[Bram Fritz @bramfritz]

“Moto is derived from the Latin ‘movere’, motion, stir emotion. Nowadays we distinguish between motion and emotion, but in the Baroque they were intertwined: outer movement, ‘moto’, reflected the ‘affetti’, the inner dynamics associated with a certain ‘azione’, action..

[Bram Fritz @bramfritz]

.. Thus gestures, movements and facial expressions not only disclosed the emotions of the depicted characters, they often also marked crucial narrative moments..
