Since the early days of Macintosh and Windows, graphical user interfaces (GUIs) have evolved dramatically, transforming from basic icons and windows to today’s sophisticated, multi-device, touch-enabled systems. With advances in touch interaction, responsive design, voice assistants, and AI integration, modern GUIs are more personalized and accessible, yet they retain traditional elements like desktop and window layouts. This blend of familiarity and innovation provides users with a recognizable experience while adapting to today’s diverse technological landscape. However, as GUIs grow smarter and increasingly interconnected, there is a rising need to enhance user privacy and data transparency, ensuring that users feel secure in their digital interactions.

I’m particularly interested in cross-platform consistency, which is crucial in interaction design. Consistency across devices can reduce user learning curves and minimize usability issues stemming from interface differences. From an interaction design perspective, achieving this consistency involves creating intuitive and universal design principles to provide a seamless user experience on any device.
