future of user interfaces
DESCRIPTION
Presentation i made at OReily Ignite. Bangalore November 2008TRANSCRIPT
The Future of User Interfaces
Its easier to invent the future than to predict it.
The origin of modern user interface
Then the switches shrunk...
And the user interface to the user
interface(Switches) changed
Then we abstracted a little more
We abstract even without knowing
we do...Pixels
Polygons
Textures Maps
?
We went from
To
So we abstracted parts of reality into
the user interface?
Hmm... Thats a good pointer to the
future
So whats left?
3d displays and gestures
Integrated displays – Reality
distortion goggles?
Voice?Voice?
Thought based actions

Neural Impulse Actuator
So how does this affect us?
Specialized interfaces always filter down to mass market devices
How can we make our next device/ website/ applications suitable
for these interfaces?
Being the first would mean a huge quantum leap.
