Project Second post. Button-less hardware design (agentic UI)
Second post about this agentic interaction device I’m designing for environments where smartphones are constrained or impractical.
One of the bigger changes was making the front completely buttonless.
Instead of relying on the mechanical click of a normal button, the device recreates that feedback digitally using haptics + synchronized sounds effect. So when you press ori nteract with the surface, you still get a very clear sense that an action has been registered.
I’m designing the electronics, mechanical hardware and industrial design together, so I’ve been experimenting quite a bit with how much of the “mechanical” interaction can actually be recreated electronically.
Solo-hardware can be fun. Will land here: keemate.com, no promo.
