When I was at Apple, HI designers would each print out images representing the key "screens" of their apps, and assemble them into a wall where they could see "all of iOS". My favorite designs were always the ones that *couldn't* be printed—they were fundamentally dynamic. ✨

good interactivity is about being able to wiggle stuff, not about being able to click buttons

Apple bought FingerWorks in 2005 to get multitouch, and we still haven’t seen 90% of the available gestures. Do HI designers know about that anymore, or is it all lost? ergocanada.com/products/keybo

They certainly knew about it, at least at Apple HI. We talked with Wayne Westerman regularly about gesture design stuff. It just didn't speak to the problems they were focused on solving.
