SENSEG – INTERACTION DESIGN
Using expertise in touch-based perception, the Finnish firm Senseg has developed a tactile technology called ‘e-sense’ that uses “tixels”, which can be applied in ultra-thin coatings on many kinds of devices to give user interactions a tangible dimension.
These tixels can transmit varying electronic fields which can be used to simulate a variety of textures be it hard or soft, rough or smooth, sticky or slippery for a number of use cases ranging from the visceral to highly functional.
It was in this firm that I worked interning as interaction designer for two and a half months. Designing and crafting the multimodal dimensions were a key aspect of my interaction design work there. There was a steep yet incredibly enriching learning curve that comes with new paradigms of interactive interfaces.
Key roles fulfilled by me:
- Graphic Design
- Game Development
- Interaction Design
- R & D work
- API development
- Concept design and use cases
- Usability and User Testing
