The UX of LEGO interface panels #LEGO @George_Cave

The shape of LEGO control panels may be standardized to the two stud angled piece, but there is wide variety in how the user interface and user experience is portrayed.

These iconic, low-resolution designs are the perfect tool to learn the basics of physical interface design. Armed with 52 different bricks, let’s see what they can teach us about the design, layout and organisation of complex interfaces.

Welcome to the world of LEGO UX design.

At a glance, the variety of these designs can be overwhelming, but it’s clear that some of these interfaces look far more chaotic than others. Most interfaces in our world contain a blend of digital screens and analog inputs like switches and dials. These LEGO panels are no different.

Read how user experience is demonstrated using LEGO panels in the post here.
