The 'from()' design concept has been designed by Mingwan Bae and Adrian Min as an intuitive series of devices for the smart home that prioritize a tactile experience for users to interact with.
The items each imagine a different kind of tactile interface that goes beyond simple physical control, buttons, dial knobs and touchscreens. The includes the shifting of buckles on a strap to change volume or frequency on a radio, squeezing a handle on a water purifier, scrolling a mat to change illumination levels on a light and more.
The 'from()' design concept imagines the next-generation of user interfaces as we shift into a new phase of smart home solutions where technology products need to merge more seamlessly with human users.
