Tufte[0] is a good person to demonstrate that kind of UX. His stuff can be pretty crazy, and often needs training, but, once someone knows how to do something he champions, it's amazing.

The example I use, in my life, is Tokyo subway maps[1]. They look crazy complicated; and they are, because it's a complex system.

But after we learn it, using them is as natural as turning a door handle.

I took Tufte's course. London Metro maps is good also. He points out the map is significantly different than reality, but makes the complex seem simple.


Did he have the Euclid's Geometry books?
