Two Extremely Cool Human-Computer Interfaces
Here are two videos of absolutely cool human-computer interface systems; Jeff Han’s touchscreen, and Pattie Maes’ & Pranav Mistry’s “Sixth Sense” system.
My prediction is that in 15-25 years ubiquitous computing will be an everyday reality in the way Mark Weiser envisioned it to be – computing devices will blend into the environment and “disappear”, letting you do whatever it is you need to do without having to consciously use a computer. And then, when you see people doing their slow tai-chi like movements in the park, instead of exercising, they just might be accessing their data with the help of body-motion detecting wearable computing and reality-augmenting contact lenses.
And, perhaps, William Gibson is the next Jules Verne.
Stay tuned!
