The Evolution of Trust
By Nicky CaseA playable explanation of why we trust each other, told through a deceptively simple game.
Interactive experiences
Simulations, explainers and tools that let people learn by changing something.
An interactive experience turns a reader into a participant. A slider can make an abstract relationship visible; a simulation can reveal the consequence of a choice. Good examples make that action easy to find and connect it to a result that someone can understand without reading a manual.
Explore these projects for their interaction design as well as their subject. Look for sensible starting values, readable labels, a reset action and a useful explanation of what changes. The linked guides show how to pick one interaction, test its assumptions and keep a first tool usable on a phone. Scientific and technical explanations still need reliable sources and appropriate limits.
