    Feedback from the OpenBridge seminar

    Three 20-minute workshop sessions at the OpenBridge seminar on 22. October 2026, grouped by theme: comments need moderation, and training on the bridge may work better as help, with the real training happening before crew board.

  2. Connecting the prototype to the learning theory

    The Wavefoil prototype held up against the learning science and interface research from the first rounds of source searching: what the theory supports, and where it pushes back.

  3. The Wavefoil overview screen with the ship, the wave chart, the engine power panel and the foil controls

    Introducing training in Wavefoil interface: first iterations

    The first iterations of the Wavefoil prototype: the interface, the training menu, an explore mode, and a second round with decision support, debriefing and comment states.
