Intuitiveness of the interaction
Appropriateness of visual feedback
Associate the values read from a pressure sensor with keyboard keys using Arduino Micro and simulate the prototype using Figma.
Additional connection of LEDs to the above
The second version prototype utilizes Node.js to create a virtual operating environment for the computer.
When the user presses the end of the datapette where the pressure sensor is located, the light emitted by the LED light chain will flow from the top to the end of the datapette and stay there, indicating that the file has been stored in the datapette. When the user expels the file, the light will flow out of the datapette in the opposite direction.
Additionally, a display screen and buttons are connected to select the files to be expelled.
To better address the issue of organizing computer files, we have designed a folder interaction system on the computer. What remains unchanged is the ability to single-click to select a folder and double-click to open a folder.
The added functionality is that a long press on a folder for three seconds allows you to open a preview of all subfolders under that folder. Additionally, a single click on a subfolder will display all the folders at the next level, thereby simplifying the process of finding files.
Datapette has basic functionality, more user-friendly interaction, and the ability to temporarily store files.
Datakulli, like a ballpoint pen, offers a more professional and design-conscious experience with features and feedback enhanced through the press-to-save file mechanism.
