Gallery of anime user interfaces [1]

['Rob Beschizza']

Anime User Interfaces collects depictions of computer screens, keyboards, dashboards and other gadgets depicted in Japanese animation (and a few others, such as Wargames' NORAD big boards, as a treat.) Spotted via Hacker News, which links to an interesting article explaining why glowing lights in analog animation and film SFX have such a weird magic.

See also the gallery of science fiction interfaces, and user interfaces depicted on Lego bricks. Before Windows crushed the market for them, there were dozens of windowing user interfaces you could bolt onto DOS and some of them are pretty spacey.

Previously:

• Human hair as a computer interface

• Adversarial mind-reading with compromised brain-computer interfaces

• iPhone X is a user interface disaster

• Should there be a standard user interface for cars?
