What's the story behind GuiMags?
|
|
How many GuiMags are in a case? |
|
Our lead designer wanted to find a way to keep coming up with great interfaces during severe carpel tunnel (RSI).
As he pondered a design at home, he used refrigerator magnets as imaginary interface controls, since drawing and clicking was painful.
A journey of ideas and tests later resulted in the birth of GuiMags which turned out to not only help hurting arms,
but helped speeding up the design process as a bonus.

The “GuiMags Corporate Case" comes with around 100 magnets in a slim,
specially designed case with the size of a laptop.
The "GuiMags Student Version" comes with 50 magnets, complete with blue storage box. |

What type of whiteboard is needed?
|
|
In what sizes do the GuiMags come? |
You simply need a magnetic whiteboard, that’s all really.
(Note that not all whiteboards are magnetic).
We also provide specially designed GuiBoards, that have screenresolutions preprinted on them.
|
|
Each interface control has its own size, so the magnets vary in size.
Averagely, they are 1.5 inches tall (about 2,5 CM) and four inches wide (about 7 cm).
We have ideas to create a larger educational version for classrooms and a smaller to design on a small scale.

Why use GuiBoards?
|
|
Are GuiMags for one use only? |
GuiBoards are not mandatory, yet extremely helpful.
They have many standard screenresolutions (iPhone, web, full page, even TV & HD) printed on them,
so you can sketch with proportions!
|
|
GUImags can be used over and over again.
You can write on their special coated surface with a non-permanent marker to easily wipe off again.
