Vanguart Black Hole Tourbillon - The Watch without ![](https://m.stacker.news/119841) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119852) ## THE BLACKHOLE APPROACHES THE LANDSCAPE OF FUTURISM WHILE EVOKING A SENSE OF WONDER AND POSSIBILITY. The Black Hole Tourbillon answers with a joystick. Not a crown dressed up to look modern, but an actual ergonomic joystick system that lets you push time forward or pull it backward with the slightest pressure. Itโ€™s the kind of design choice that makes you wonder why every other watchmaker is still using miniature knobs. ## SEAMLESS DESIGN The sweeping lines of the case flow seamlessly, complex geometries are conveyed with grace and fluidity, and every detail has been treated with care, craft and consideration. There are no visible screws or pins, which further pushes the organic aesthetic. The final result is a flowing design that was created in absolute coordination with its next generation highly engaging tourbillon mechanism. ![](https://m.stacker.news/119848) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119849) ## AN AUTOMATION FOR THE FUTURE Developed and created entirely in-house by the Vanguart team, caliber T-1701 features a central flying tourbillon that appears to be levitating above a purely 21st century animated dial. The time is indicated by a linear time display with the hour and minutes each having their own concentric dial that border the tourbillon. ![](https://m.stacker.news/119847) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119850) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119851) ## EMOTIONAL ENGINEERING The setting of the watch is where the beautiful ingenuity of Vanguart is on full display. A highly ergonomic joystick-type setting system replaces a traditional crown and allows the user to advance and reverse the time in a highly engaging and tactile way. Time simply flows forward and backward with the Blackhole with the slightest pressure. ## ENGAGING TIME ver 750 components comprise this groundbreaking movement which has set the stage for the future of Vanguart mechanisms: technologically advanced, always engaging and placing User Interface into the equation, designed with refined beauty and hand-decorated entirely throughout.
One Single Trace Line Clock ![](https://m.stacker.news/119837)![](https://m.stacker.news/119839) Clocks are one of the oldest design playgrounds, and yet most of us still live with the same two-hand layout we grew up with. Designers keep trying to find new ways to visualize time, sometimes at the cost of instant readability. The Trace Line Clock is a small desk piece that connects hours and minutes with a single, constantly changing line, turning the familiar dial into something that feels a little more like a drawing. The Trace Line Clock is a minimal, 3D-printed desk clock by Hye-jin Park that uses one continuous hand to show both hours and minutes. The inner end of the line rides an inner circle for the hour, while the outer end rides an outer circle for the minute. As time passes, the lineโ€™s angle and length shift, so every glance shows a new geometric relationship between the two. ![](https://m.stacker.news/119838) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119840)
A simple python decorator, build UI forms out of your everyday python functions ![](https://m.stacker.news/119836) Python UI-Me (as in: Python methods saying "make elegant UI forms out of me") is a tiny-but-mighty package that turns your everyday functions into sleek web control panels. Tag a function with a decorator, let the bundled Flask app spin up, and suddenly your script feels like a real product instead of a one-off command. TL;DR What you get: In just three lines of code, all regular functions of your python code will be ready to use on a UI. Every argument of these functions becomes input forms and on using them, their responses get render in rich JSON. All this, while the whole thing still feels feather-light because it is plain HTML/CSS/JS (no React, no design system du jour). What you keep: Your playful, slightly chaotic script-driven workflow. UI-Me just gives it buttons, dark mode, and a logo. What to look at first: The Motivation story is short and spicy, but if your build server is already screaming, hereโ€™s the gif version of what to expect:

The Shape of AI - UX Patterns for Artificial Intelligence Design ![](https://m.stacker.news/119710) โ€The Shape of AI exists to help make the technology and impact of artificial intelligence more understandable, so that collectively we can influence a future where technology enhances our life, instead of causing harm. ![](https://m.stacker.news/119711) Artificial Intelligence will fundamentally upend how we work, connect, learn, and live. We are only just starting to see how these changes will manifest in our digital products, across services and experiences, and within our organizations and institutions. ## Design is more important now than ever. Computation evolves faster than humans can adapt. We cannot recreate the wheel with every new experience or product to try and find the right balance between human incentives and algorithmic feedback loops. Instead, we must rely on proven frameworks of human interaction and cognition if we are to shape a world that centers the needs of people, communities, and inter-connected life. By understanding human behavior, and how it adjusts to a computation landscape, designers can craft experiences that seamlessly integrate with users' expectations, making advanced technology feel familiar and straightforward. ## This moment is an opportunity to reset our approach to technology. We get to design the future. Hop on. โ‹ ![](https://m.stacker.news/119712)
