TINK - sketching product experiences of connected objects
Tink is the result of my graduation project from the master in design for interaction at TUDelft. Tink is a web platform that connects products with one another via the Internet, it provides designers with a complete Internet of Things (IOT) development environment. Designers are provided with a rich stack of features to sketch, prototype and test IOT projects. Tink is a user-friendly, visual, collaborative, open-source tool for designers to build connected interactions among objects.

HOVERING A CONNECTION<br />
HOVERING A BUILDING BLOCK<br />
By Hoovering with the mouse<br />
a connection, the entity and<br />
building blocks <strong>connected</strong> to it are<br />
highlighted.<br />
A (x) button appears that can be<br />
used to delete the connection<br />
By Hoovering with the mouse a<br />
building block, the entity and<br />
building blocks <strong>connected</strong> to it are<br />
highlighted<br />

ENTITY IS OFFLINE<br />
BUILDING BLOCK IS EXECUTED<br />
MANUALLY TRIGGER ACTIONS<br />
RECEIVING MESSAGES<br />
When entities are not <strong>connected</strong><br />
are going they appear desaturated<br />
in the system diagram.<br />
When a building block is executed<br />
and produces an output message, it<br />
will shortly blink.<br />
Actions can be manually triggered<br />
by clicking on the left inlet.<br />
When messages are exchanged<br />
between the entities are going to<br />
be visible in the system diagram<br />
inside the building block.
