UI Design in Sunshine
So this is officially the first post of 2012! The story of Sunshine is centered around a group of scientists, set in a spaceship heading towards the sun.

Most of them appear as either screen displays in the ships or touchscreen devices, with the exception of one short clip featuring Eric Bana [...]
