#92Glad to see this posted on Hacker News. I used this for our internal tool and the first time I showed it, almost the whole company were in awe. I made a kind of public version here if you're interested: https://scan-viewer.vercel.app/scans/1 Edit: Guess I should explain a bit more about this tool. Our main product is a handheld scanner that can take an individual’s body measurements while they are fully clothed. You…
What widgets are you using for the gauge and line graph? They integrate in well.

#93This looks great.
The use of React components gives a post-apocalyptic feel to it.

#94I like that this is also called "futuristic".
This is the future if we projected it out in the 90s. (I think the popularity says something about the average age of HN users).
However, if we had projected the future in the 80s or 70s or 00s, we would see different interfaces.
Speaking of cyberpunk, I recommend the William Gibson short story Gernsback Continuum that explores this "projected future" concept in more detail.

I have to ask, but how does the scanner work - if i am clothed how does it reconstruct my underneath self? Or is it actually penetrating the cloth? BTW - great idea. It has to be the future of clothes shopping
Yeah the scanner has a radar sensor which can penetrate clothes. We used multiple sensors and developed a "morphing" algorithm to reconstruct the whole body accurately.

#96That's awesome. Of course not for standard web interface, I would hate my bank to have something like this, but that would be perfect to create a text adventure or other immersive experiences!
You just reminded me of Citibank's virtual number UI. It had sound effects and would play an animation that would show you a temporary credit card number using a slot-machine-like animation. It was hilarious but I would always dread using it whenever I needed it.
Do you have a screenshot or video? That sounds nightmarish!

Sure, hire him and get it done

The React version of Her would be a bit too minimalistic :)
Edit: I wanted to check if I was right and it's all voice, and found this playlist on Sci-fi UI:

I'd love to learn more about the company and technology! Using radar is an interesting adaptation. Do you have a site?
Re: Arwes – Futuristic Sci-Fi / Cyberpunk Graphical User Interface Framework
#100Based on the positive responses here, I think I might be the only one who doesn't fancy decorations, whether it's sci-fi or in any form in user interface design - victorian ornamentation, steampunk brass, vaporware aesthetics, etc - they're all artistic endeavors - I think it's fun to explore these and even use them to achieve a particular objective, but I wonder how much of it influences serious designers whose responsibility is to produce functional, objective, straight forward UI that gets the job done. For example, SpaceX cockpit design and the amount of sci-fi influence with touchscreens vs. say F-15 Cockpit (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23702560) which I personally consider as the epitome of interface design. Not directly comparing them, but comparing the underlying philosophy and approach towards UI.
It's not to say that aesthetics itself is a problem, IMO when aesthetics emerge automatically from solving a problem (F-15 philosophy) is far more beautiful, appealing and pleasing, than aesthetics that is forced by the designer's personal taste and then trying to solve the UI problems within that framework (biting on SpaceX again).
Amazing work nevertheless in terms of its artistic appeal.
