Tom Igoe: Physical Computing's Greatest Hits

Human Computer Interaction

Now we need to make “computers for the rest of you.” We need computers that respond to the rest of your body and the rest of your world. GUI technology allows you to drag and drop, but it won’t notice if you twist and shout. It’s made it easy to open a folder and start a program, but we’d like a computer to be able to open a door or start a car. Personal computers have evolved in an office environment in which you sit on your butt, moving only your fingers, entering and receiving information censored by your conscious mind. That is not your whole life, and probably not even the best part. We need to think about computers that sense more of your body, serve you in more places, and convey physical expression in addition to information.
