The Design Systems Laboratory

Interactive workbenches for exploring the invisible physics of interface design — motion dynamics, perceptual accessibility, component state machines, typographic scales, and acoustic feedback.

LAB-01Physics

Spring Physics & Spatial Workbench

The Mathematics of Motion & Tactile Momentum

Manipulate stiffness, damping, and mass to engineer the precise feel of interface motion. Drag, flick, and toss a live specimen to experience how each Visual Movement calibrates its physics.

  • Adjustable stiffness, damping & mass
  • Draggable & flickable test specimen
  • Movement-aware physics presets
  • Export as CSS / Framer Motion / React Spring

LAB-02Perception
👁

Perception & Vision Simulator

Optical Filters & Cognitive Accessibility

Apply real-time perceptual filters to any Visual Movement. Test color vision deficiencies, ambient lighting conditions, and live APCA contrast scores across every surface.

  • Color vision deficiency simulation
  • Ambient lighting environment presets
  • Live APCA contrast scoring
  • Side-by-side original vs. filtered view
Enter Experiment →
LAB-03Components

Component State Matrix

Synchronized Multi-State Testing Array

Render any component across all 6 fundamental interaction states simultaneously. Adjust global tokens and watch Default, Hover, Active, Focus, Loading, and Disabled adapt in lockstep.

  • 6-state synchronized grid
  • Global token manipulation sliders
  • Component type selector
  • Live computed CSS inspector

LAB-04Typography
Aa

Fluid Typography & Modular Scale

Typographic Rhythm & Variable Font Engineering

Engineer type hierarchies with live modular scale ratios, variable font axes, viewport-responsive clamp() formulas, and baseline grid alignment visualization.

  • Modular scale ratio selector
  • Variable font axis sliders
  • Viewport resize simulator with clamp()
  • Baseline grid overlay toggle

Acoustic Design Soundboard

UI Sound Synthesis & Haptic Tone Calibration

Design interface sounds from first principles. Shape waveforms, tune harmonic intervals, sculpt ADSR envelopes, and audition how each Visual Movement voices its feedback.

  • 3×3 interactive trigger pad
  • Waveform & harmonic interval controls
  • ADSR envelope shaper
  • Visual oscilloscope display
