Tangible Interfaces

A newsletter for the upcoming book Designing the Tangible Interface (Rosenfeld Media, 2027)

Software ate the world. Car dashboards, cameras, thermostats — all replaced by apps on featureless glass rectangles. This book is about what gets lost when we lose physical interaction, and how designers can build something better.

I'm Steve Turbek — industrial designer turned digital UX designer turned teacher at Pratt, where I run the Tangible Interfaces Lab. No engineering background required. Just curiosity.

Subscribers get early chapter previews, interviews with UX designers, industrial designers, and hardware builders, and dispatches from the process of actually writing the thing.
