» How Star Trek artists imagined the iPad... 23 years ago
Via Faruk: Ars Technica interviews Michael Okuda, the graphic designer responsible for Star Trek’s distinctive LCARS interface, about iOS and the iPad.
Even Okuda was impressed with how natural and fluid the interface of the iPad feels in use. Actions that involved complex post-production effects on a PADD actually seem easy on an iPad, he said. “There are a lot of things that are very easy to do in a prop, but actually very difficult to do in reality,” he told Ars. “For example, pinch to zoom—that was relatively difficult to do even as a visual effect. It’s implemented brilliantly on the iPad and the iPhone.”
