Digital Interfaces in the Real World

These were illustrations of idea I had had for using digital interfaces in new contexts. Specifically in areas where it avoided a question. I had be struck by a couple of points that Tom Igoe had made in his book Making Things Talk. He was referring to the way interfaces should be designed to keep the user in the loop and understanding the process that was going on. If it was common for a pregnant lady to wear a loading screen, or a sleeping person to show a buffering bar. I also tried to represent the idea of a real world colour picker in the video below.
