At long last, I present to you: the OLLOS essay.

It's got everything: how it works & how I used it, design and concept iterations, future work for it and the OS, and what I learned about personal interfaces.

This year, I worked with Ink & Switch on a project that asks important questions about the future of the OS.

The user environments of today’s operating systems are over-abstract and overwrought, as Don Norman pointed out 30 years ago.

But how would you reorganize personal computing?

The video for my #notGDC 2023 talk is now online. In it I proposed breaking down thinking about #UI design into 3 parts:
- Let players know something: Using hierarchies to organise information.
- Let players do something: Using "Invite, React, Confirm" to make clear, enjoyable interactions.
- Let players feel something: Using the UI to support the feel of the game through visuals and player experience.
