Here comes another step in the conception on project “Jarvis”. For once, let’s not be too geeky. I feel artsy today. I’ll focus on the GUI and fire up Inskcape et the Gimp. Yeah, still a bit geeky, I know…<\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 
\nJarvis-like GUI<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s try the first idea take comes to my mind: create an interface … just like Marvel’s Jarvis. I googled a bit, watched a couple of scenes from the movies and came up with a first rendering:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

And it sucks :poop: !
\nYes, Jarvis on the movies looks badass. But as a GUI, no matter how hard I tried, there no way it can be usefull to anything at all.<\/p>\n

Siri-like GUI<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second idea would be a Siri-like interface. Just like I drew in the first scketches. Here’s a first rendering:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

And … that sucks too :poop: ! It is a just a boring copy of Apple’s SIRI :yawn: …<\/p>\n

Plus, I want something dead simple, and that would provides natural ways to navigate between Wolfram|Alpha’s pods.<\/p>\n

Haze-like GUI<\/strong>
\nHaze<\/a> is a fantastic weather forcecast app for iOS, with a very unique interface. Almost peotic. That’s definitly what I want for project Jarvis \ud83d\ude42 !<\/p>\n

Here’s a sketch of what I have in mind:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

I feel, the GUI should be as minimalistic and intuitive as possible:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • <\/li>\n
  • A simple button to trigger voice acquisition<\/span><\/li>\n
  • <\/li>\n
  • A smaller button to rise a keyboard and enter a query<\/span><\/li>\n
  • <\/li>\n
  • A third button to share the results<\/span><\/li>\n
  • <\/li>\n
  • On top of these buttons, the textual reformulation of the query<\/span><\/li>\n
  • <\/li>\n
  • At the center, Jarvis’ answer to the query<\/span><\/li>\n
  • <\/li>\n
  • Around the main bubble, various pods from Wolfram|Alpha<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     
    \nI like that :silly: !<\/p>\n
