Vento for designers
Bring the products you design to life.
Define how a product should behave and test its interface, sensors, states and physical responses in a working prototype.
Design the behaviour, not only the form
When a product reacts to people or its surroundings, the experience lives in the sequence between an action and a response. A button, gesture or change in the environment produces a signal; the system changes state; then an interface, light, sound or mechanism communicates the result.
Vento brings that sequence into a working prototype. You can test the interface with the real sensor and output, observe where the interaction becomes unclear and adjust the states or responses without rebuilding each layer separately.
How you build it with Vento
Three steps, from the intended interaction to behaviour tested with real hardware.
Real projects
Systems built with Vento
The need
« I want the device and app to feel like one product »
BiteBike
BiteBike combines a physical parking station with an app. Vento keeps booking, device states and the wheel-restraint mechanism inside one product journey.

The need
« I want to explain a complex idea through interaction »
Life Blocks
Visitors use an illuminated controller to choose or create DNA code. The installation responds by moving its mechanical modules into the resulting sequence.
The need
« I want the module to control a complex physical process »
ATOM H2
ATOM H2 uses probes, valves and thermal control to turn solid-state hydrogen storage into an operable industrial product.

Questions from designers
How to turn an intended interaction into behaviour you can experience on the product.
Do I need to know how to program or design electronics?
No. Describe what the person does, what the product should sense and how it should respond. Vento Agent can help create and connect the interface, data, compatible sensors and actions needed for a working first version.
Can I test the interaction with real hardware?
Yes. You can connect compatible sensors, actuators, screens, lights and other devices to test timings, states and physical responses as part of the complete interaction.
Can I change the product behaviour without rebuilding the whole prototype?
Yes. You can ask Vento Agent to adjust the interface, logic, conditions and responses while keeping the connected parts of the project that are already working.
