Aperture Operating Environment

A concept and a guidelines for Aperture OE

This is an additional design proposal for a concept on the “age aperture” UI of AOE.

Basic idea is that OS and its UI opens up to the child as a child's knowledge progresses using Balthazar and its security features. When tasks needed to jump to another level are completed, a new level of learning and possibilities is open to exploring.

It is aimed to be a subtle kind of auto-parental control, but not quite so stringent, as parental control is about the permissions and control. This enables the younger user to control entirely own freedom level by being engaged with the Balthazar and its features.

A possible example could be the "experience box" where tasks are fulfilled and a user moves on to another level with new possibilities, while also has enabled sharing within the trusted networks and with school colleagues. The complete process is encrypted and secure.
