Treat slowness as an interaction material
Gradual responses and ink transitions create narrative pacing instead of imitating instant chat.
PROJECT 03
Tom Riddle Interactive Ink Diary
How might an open-source e-ink experience become an immersive interactive diary on iPad?
Try the demoContext & product hypothesis
This project began as an adaptation of an open-source e-ink project. It explores how the experience could move to iPad, and how slow writing, ink-like visuals, and narrative interaction might create a more intimate interface.
Compared with a conventional chat interface, restrained ink visuals, tactile feedback, and gradual responses may make a digital conversation feel like a personal object with memory.
02 / APPROACH
Planned approach
- 01
Review the original project and deploy it locally
- 02
Adapt the experience for iPad screens and touch
- 03
Document inherited and modified parts
- 04
Prepare independent naming, assets, and demo flow
- 05
Review licensing and attribution before publishing
03 / PROTOTYPE
Product interface
Three key product decisions
Recompose for iPad, not simply scale up
Touch targets, orientation, and reading distance require separate design decisions.
Make adaptation boundaries explicit
The public version will separate upstream licensing, inherited work, and personal modifications.
05 / EVALUATION
Proposed evaluation framework
These are proposed measures awaiting calibration—not results or invented scores.

Making inheritance and adaptation explicit
Original structure and core e-ink interaction.
iPad layout, touch behavior, and local runtime experience.
Public presentation will follow the upstream license.
