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.
