A user interface for multitasking
A user interface for simultaneously working with YouTube and another application.

Usability
A more effective workflow. In today's world, the internet is flooded with tutorials and videos that people turn to when they want to learn new skills. During our interface design project, Leon Burg, Philipp Minel, and I aimed to improve multitasking for online tutorials by incorporating an analog interface. We explored the use of one-button interfaces.
For multitasking, the accessibility of online video tutorials is inadequate. The user has poor control, leading to constant interruptions.
A Combination of UX/UI design and physical product. Aspects of industrial design (e. g. haptics, texture). We conducted serveral usability testings.
We built an analog prototype using an Arduino Leonardo, a sliding potentiometer, a rotary encoder, and 3D printing. To make the rotary encoder adjustable, we attached another housing to the slider within our enclosure and centred it using springs. Usability Test Setup. We conducted several usability tests to allign the interaction patterns with intuitivity.

Contributions
We worked and experimented with Arduino and haptics. I focused on the concept visualisations, usability tests, concept implementation and sound design.
