Keyboard → T-shirt

Workshop HfG Novembre 28 2022

Introduction

Keyboard → T-shirt is a one-day workshop that proposes to explore the possible interactions between a keyboard and an visual interface. The goal is to develop a web program to design t-shirts. Only the keyboard interface is allowed to manipulate this interface. You have to imagine the different design and layout functions to create a t-shirt. It will also be considered to imagine a new tangible interface to replace the keyboard.

Images collection of tangile interfaces for manipulating visual interfaces (work in progress)
