"We have two identical groups of X gauges with anomalous gauge at position (31). The degree of anomaly is identical in both groups X deg. Humans have extreme hyperacuity with respect to detecting angular orientation of line segmentsneedle gauge is so much faster to read. The arc gauges all look the same even though the amount of deviation is the same about X degrees. Even if you concentrate it's hard to tell which one is off"

"Skeuomorphic hierarchy of a needle gauge is like this: 1) Semiotic and abstract concept of a gauge: a continuous quantity represented on an analog scale and its instantaneous value marked on this scale. 2) Encoding it in graphics (2D shapes) as graduated radial analog scale and a pointer metaphor which takes advantage of the vernier and hypercolumnar acuity of vision. 3) Physical manifestation of the gauge: stamping drilling painting and assembling the needle as a gauge. This is an approximation of 2) due to manufacturing constraints. 4) Skeumorphism approximates 3) and tries to implement it" @usgraphics on X 2025-07-17 19:13:24 UTC 33.2K followers, 37.4K engagements
