TINK: Sketching product experiences of connected objects

TINK offers designers a complete Internet of Things (IOT) development environment to sketch experiential prototypes of connected objects. TINK is a user-friendly, visual, collaborative, open-source tool for designers to build connected interactions among objects. User-Friendly TINK targets interaction designers with minimal Arduino experience...

Programming for Interactive Prototypes

Goal In recent years, designers have increasingly started to make experiential prototypes containing electronics within the design process. This has been enabled by the rise of several microcontroller boards and software tools that decrease the complexity and cost of making such a prototype, allowing designers to construct these prototypes...
