interface #2

Screen time interface on iPhone

- Creates a sense of guilt in the user

- Low iconography, mostly based on a graph and text (percentages + statistics compared to a week prior)

- Aim – make the user feel even more guilty by adding text and exaggerating

(pick the suitable light bulb intensity)

These reiterations are aimed at changing the user's approach to this seemingly boring interface in a more interactive and funny way. By moving the objects in these interfaces (or adding in values), the brightness on your device's screen will change accordingly. These however are inspired by "The worst volume control UI in the world" project and are, therefore, not to be seen as useful, but more as thought-provoking and gimmicky.

(move the sun along the dotted line to change the brightness of your screen)

(match the brightness of your screen to the time of the day)

The aim of this interface reiteration is to create a sense of guilt within the user and to ultimately make him/her spend less time on their devices. This is achieved in an ironic and "offensive" way, with the intent of making it more effective.
