Incomprehensible Interfaces

Legibility is for losers.
What's your favorite incomprehensible UI? Mine have to be the early CGI cut-ins from the Zeiram films.

Also Zeiram is sick as hell go watch Zeiram.

I've never heard of Zeiram! Looks amazing.

There's a lot of great stuff going on in the Alien movies. Here's a great article about the type design throughout the first movie. https://typesetinthefuture.com/2014/12/01/alien/ (A really cool website, overall!)

Zeiram my beloved!! <3

At the moment, I'm taken back to the wild abstract displays in Minority Report. It's like my god, they're navigating an extended early 00's flash website intro with augmented VR and motion controls!

Speaking of VR hand/headsets, someone kindly did a supercut of all of the wild interface animation in Johnny Mnemonic, hell yeah:




I'll also always have a soft spot for the pristinely convoluted Trek consoles on TNG and later

Additional Trek moment, in the interest of further incomprehensibility (and because DS9 is the best one :lol: )... Cardassian console layouts

Very glad the first thread I click on this forum both appreciates Zeiram and LCARS!
I'm a real LCARS fiend, for a time my phone had an LCARS launcher.

anyway Macross Plus has some nutty UI design which is so good!!
