Physical Knobs and Levers: Hands Need to Touch

A retro-futuristic panel covered with physical control elements. On a metal or dark plastic panel are arranged: several circular knobs with scale lines, a row of up-and-down metal toggle switches, several glowing square buttons, and a push-pull slider. Next to each element are etched or silk-screened small labels, some of which are worn and unclear. The edges of the knobs have knurling for easy finger rotation. Avoid: using touch panels and smooth interfaces, having control elements without labels and scales, using contemporary minimalist buttons, making the panel too clean without signs of use.

一片布滿實體控制元件的復古未來面板。金屬或深色塑膠的面板上排列著:幾個帶有刻度線的圓形旋鈕、一排上下撥動的金屬撥桿開關、幾顆會發光的方形按鍵、以及一支推拉的滑桿。每一個元件旁邊都有蝕刻或絲印的小字標示,部分已經磨損看不清楚。旋鈕的邊緣有滾花方便手指轉動。避免:使用觸控面板與平滑的介面、讓控制元件沒有標示與刻度、使用當代的極簡按鈕、讓面板過於乾淨沒有使用痕跡。
