Emery Wells on X: "Ever wondered why apps like @linear, @arcinternet, @airtable, and @frame_io feel like gliding on ice, while others feel like trudging through mud? It’s not subjective nor based on taste, it’s all about precise, measurable front-end rendering techniques I call ‘FluidUI.’ The…" / X

For the GANG awards, the Jedi: Survivor audio team put together supercuts of all our favorite audio moments in the game. I felt like they were too good to not share, so I got permission to upload some of them here! Starting with the video for Sound Design of the Year 🧵

Technical breakdown of a few neurologicalgical innovations in the Vision Pro
One of the coolest results involved predicting a user was going to click on something before they actually did. That was a ton of work and something I’m proud of. Your pupil reacts before you click in part because you expect something will happen after you click. So you can create biofeedback with a user's brain by monitoring their eye behavior, and redesigning the UI in real time to create more of this anticipatory pupil response. It’s a crude brain computer interface via the eyes, but very cool. And I’d take that over invasive brain surgery any day.

LLMs are highly non-deterministic, which presents a huge design challenge: we've never built non-deterministic software, it's always been based off of branching logic and restricted options (hence: the GUI)— Neal Khosla (@nealkhosla) February 25, 2023

Something tells me that it being promoted into a way of assessing “profile quality” by recruiters who have no design knowledge or time to talk to candidates has certainly not helped.— Ana (@dingbats__) September 18, 2022

The new project I designed arrives today - the Dynamic Island. Its goal is to feel like a living, elastic bubble that can fluidly shape shift into different alerts and experiences.This is just the start, but I’m excited to see it begin its life! pic.twitter.com/HTkhSK69LU— Chan Karunamuni (@chan_k) September 16, 2022
