Tools required to create Neuromorphic Designs
Creating neuromorphic design is a really big challenge as still today it is difficult to create a system that can mimic human brain and can create a full proof data to bring a huge change in UI designing. This design approach is still in its earlier stage. This doesn’t mean that the amount of knowledge we have of our brain’s working is not enough to create Neuromorphic UI designs. We have came really far and created tools that can be used by anyone around the globe to create such design systems. Such as:-
- UI designing Tools: These tools are used to create wireframes and interactive prototype of any digital system before they are launched in the market. These include – AdobeXD, Sketch, Figma, Invision etc.
- UI Libraries and Framework: Still there are no specific libraries that are based on neuromorphic UI designs but some of them do provide a good basic structures that can be customized by custom coding according to the user’s need. These Include – Material-UI (React), Ant Design (React and Vue), Flutter (Dart) etc.
- Eye Tracking Tools: This technology is used to accumulate data of hotspots in an interface that draws user’s attention. These data can be used by designers to prioritize important content, such as call-to-action buttons or key information, in these visual hotspots. Such tools are – Tobii Pro SDK, Pupil Labs, Lumen etc.
- Biometric Sensors: Devices like Fingerprint Sensors, heart rate monitor and ECG’s, BP Monitor can be used to modify UI elements on the basis of user’s current physiological state. In this data accumulated from smart wearables can be used by integrating their API and SDK into the interface. Such tools are – Smartwatches, smartbands, smart goggles etc.
- Sound Design Tools: This can be an important aspect in the world of UI as sound can be used to make the feel of UI much closer to reality. Any action we do in real life has a sound associated with it whether its a sound of keyboard keys or camera shutter can be integrated in UI to give it a more realistic feel. Tools that can be used to create such sounds – Audacity, Adobe audition etc.
Neuromorphic Design – Blurring the Lines Between UI and Reality
In the era of UI/UX design, brands want to create a more comfortable and natural user experience. To do so they take inspiration from the environment and how a human interacts with it. Today many big brands and institutions are investing a huge amount of money just to understand the human brain and how it processes things around it. They are trying to bring real interactions into the digital world minimizing the gap between UI and reality. These types of research and approaches used have given birth to a new concept in UI design i.e. Neuromorphic Design – An approach that connects neural analysis of the brain (neuroscience) with design.
