Concept Designer / UX Systems Designer Explored interaction models, information architecture, and visual metaphors for navigating time as a multi-dimensional system rather than a linear sequence. Problem Framing Most digital interfaces assume time is linear: past → present → future. However, many real-world systems—such as AI decision-making, trauma processing, scenario planning, and complex simulations—operate across branching timelines, parallel states, and delayed consequences. This project takes an outside-in perspective to ask: What would a user interface look like if time itself were the primary navigable medium? Concept Overview Time Travel UX is a speculative interface concept for navigating non-linear time. Rather than representing time as a single axis, the system visualizes it as a spatial environment shaped by: -Decision trees and branching outcomes -Emotional and contextual anchors -Geometric flows representing probability, causality, and consequence The interface imagines a cross-dimensional assistant that helps users explore alternate paths, understand downstream effects, and re-orient within complex temporal systems. Design Approach The project draws inspiration from: -Emergency and medical UX decision tools, where users must act under uncertainty -Cognitive mapping and spatial memory research -Immersive and XR interaction patterns -Scenario planning and multi-path reasoning frameworks Rather than emphasizing narrative realism, the design prioritizes comprehension, orientation, and ethical awareness when navigating high-stakes, multi-outcome environments. Core Design Principles -Non-Linear Navigation — Time represented as a navigable space rather than a timeline -Perspective Shifting — Zooming between macro timelines and micro decision points -Cognitive Load Management — Abstract geometry used to reduce complexity while preserving meaning -Ethical Awareness — Visual cues highlight irreversible decisions and unintended consequences -Orientation & Grounding — Persistent reference points to prevent user disorientation Try the clickable Prototype Mockup below:
