I’m currently looking for new opportunities in freelance, contract, or permanent roles starting in the new year. If you know of any openings or can share this post, I’d be grateful for your support!

With expertise in frontend development, web design, interaction design, and design systems, I’m excited to bring fresh ideas and skills to new projects.

The upcoming #vvvv beginners class is open for enrollment!

If you want to get started creating interactive/immersive experiences, this one is for you!

Starting October 7th a 12 session online course will again be hosted by seasoned vvvv instructors @chkworks and @remony and run by @thenodeinstitute

*The Disappearing User*
short essay by Boris Müller @boris

"My problem with the term ‘user’ is not that it is inaccurate. My problem is that the term ‘user’ is suggestive. It indicates that a person is still fully in control of all the things that happen on their computer or their mobile phone. And I don’t think that is the case."

“The future is where design belongs. Design is only possible where confidence and hope are united. Where there is resignation, that is, no belief in future prospects, there is no design.”
— Gui Bonsiepe

Interaction Design Education, extended

Thanks to Andi Pollok I thought it might be useful to add a new layer to the map, as he and his colleagues @bndktgrs and Eileen Mandir are running a new Masters programme called Strategic Design :-) at the HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd

powers of ten for interface design: zooming out from a simple button to our planet, this animation introduces the central concerns of #InterfaceDesign – as taught at #FHPotsdam – and sneaks in a few easter eggs and historical references along the way.

great work by @boris and team!

Our open-source design system is a tool used in all of our web projects which allows us to put together a research-driven, deployment-ready site in hours rather than days or weeks.

Learn more about it here: https://github.com/scidsg/design-system/tree/main

From my old Vimeo archive (2008): #OpticalFlow #3D #InteractionDesign prototype for Nokia retail stores. No OpenCV, just vanilla pixel buffer analysis (in Java):

"Documenting progress for a current project, using optical flow analysis to enable a gestural interface & navigate on-screen content both 2D and 3D.

The video analysis requires only a very small (here 160 x 120) capture size and is fairly tolerant to noise. Each frame is recursively analysed in blocks of 30x30 pixels (variable) which are displaced by a certain amount (also adaptable) and then checked for matches in the previous frame. The resulting flow field is displayed and summed to compute the average direction and amount of movement. All calculations and updates to the flow field use threshold & low pass filters to reduce jitter."

The recordings of all talks of the IxDA Interaction Design Education Summit 2023 in Zürich are online. Yay!

Our talk/recording is called:
Strategically exploring, designing and negotiating future scenarios with »Design Futuring« (Eileen Mandir & Benedikt Groß)

PS: Thanks again to Jürgen Späth and team (Interaction Design at ZHdK) for the great symposium!

Visual hierarchy matters.
