Tooltip hint

recorded by Scott Yu-Jan of Tilt Brush

A tooltip graphic connecting the user’s controller to the floating UI with the message “point to interact,” was used as a hint to prompt users as to how the GUI works.

Strengths:

Quick and simple to understand

The connecting line between the controller and the menu naturally urges the user to bring the two together possibly, without even reading the tooltip message.

Multi panel controller UI

Similar to an artists’ painting palette, Tilt Brush’s UI work with flat pannels around the controller that users can rotate through to pick out colors, tools, and settings.

Strengths:

An effective way for users to browse a lot of options quickly

Intuitive to use and quick to master

Weaknesses
