Hybrid Interfaces
Touchscreens all feel the same
Touchscreens are becoming a dominant method for input.
But they all feel the same.
Pictures under glass lack the possibility to create a distinctive User Experience and do not allow for any embodied cognition.
Adding a Haptical
addition of Hapticals (= physical input devices) creates value by enabling interaction without direct view and a tangible experience.
Hapticals are low-price and low-complex input devices, that make use of the sensor surface of capacitive touchscreens.
Strong vibrations can add the feeling of latching points to Hapticals.
Hybrid Interfaces in a Car Interior
Based on my explorations, an exemplary cockpit interface for the Infotainment system of semi autonomous vehicles was developed.
