More on user interfaces

Carrying on from the previous post about how user interfaces have evolved, here's one that's exciting. It could mean a revolution in how we choose to look at files on the computer. I think very soon the computer will become an extension of our analog brains. We will be working with analog representations of digital processes. Starting from force feedback on your dumb joystick right up to whats there on this video; we will not just be typing on keyboards or clicking with mice, we will be working with data using interfaces through which we can touch, feel, sense, smell and taste. Being the pervert that i am, i am just imagining cyber sex five years from now. Good times are ahead.

The next wave in computing

Multi touch interface. Surface computing. Click here to see what it's all about. It's super cool if you ask me, but i'm just surprised that microsoft is behind this and not apple or google. We'll wait and see. This reminds me of the Zion control station in the matrix.
