HorizonWatching CommunityHuman / Computer Interaction – Trend OverviewHuman–computer Interaction (HCI) refers to the research,design and development of new technologies that can Emerging User Interface Technologiesimprove the interaction between people (users) and • Speech Recognition: Examples: Dragoncomputers. There are many emerging technologies at play speech recognition, Google speechhere. recognition, Microsoft speech recognitionDrivers • Gesture Recognition: Example:• Smartphones and Tablets free users from keypads and Microsoft’s Kinect gaming systemmouses• Gaming platforms and devices (e.g. Wii, Kinect, etc.) • Behavioral / Gestural Analytics: Solutions• New interface technologies, such as multi-touch, gesture built on top of the base gesture recognitionrecognition, speech recognition, and eye / face tracking platformChallenges • Emotion Detection: Face reading available• Teenagers will expect to interact with enterprise systems the today (with limited capabilities). Full bodyway they interact with their smartphones, tablets, and reading in the future.gaming devices • Virtual Assistants: Most recent example is• Devlopers will have to consider embedding capability for Apple’s Sirimultiple user interfaces and HCI technologies into future apps • Augmented reality: Overlaying informationImplications on top of a real world view. Example: Layar.• Manufactures of all types of electronic devices will need toincorporate these new HCI capabilities into future designs• Business processes will change. Application developers willwant to incorporate HCI capabilities into future applicationsolutions 3 January 17, 2012 Human and Computer Interaction: A HorizonWatching Trend Report © 2012 HorizonWatching Creative Commons Attribution License

HorizonWatching CommunityAdvances in Human / Computer Interaction technology aretransforming the way we interact with our computing devices Gartner: Interface Types “For decades our options for interacting with the digital world have been limited to keyboards, mice, and joysticks. Now with a new generation of exciting new interfaces in the pipeline our interaction with the digital world will be forever changed” – SingularityHub (link) “Why do we still use a keyboard and mouse to interact with digital information? This mode of human-computer interaction, invented more than 40 years ago, severely constrains our ability to access and interact naturally with digital content..” – MIT Media Lab (link) “From brain-controlled machines to gesture- driven devices, theres a range of technologies in development that may find their way into Gartner: (link) everyday electronic devices.” – IDG News (link)4 January 17, 2012 Human and Computer Interaction: A HorizonWatching Trend Report © 2012 HorizonWatching Creative Commons Attribution License

HorizonWatching CommunityApple’s iPad Multi-touch capability has already changed the way weexpect to interact with computers in the future.Multitouch “The iPad has created a transformational change in how people interact with computers. Multitouch on the iPad and other media tablets has liberated users from the hardware keyboard and pointing device (aka the mouse). As media tablets become more commonplace, users will expect the convenience and simplicity of multitouch user interfaces when they interact with other computing devices” – Gartner (link) Gartner Webinar (link)5 January 17, 2012 Human and Computer Interaction: A HorizonWatching Trend Report © 2012 HorizonWatching Creative Commons Attribution License

Kinect “I’m convinced this (Kinect) is a Siri transformational technology. With NUI, computing devices will adapt to our “An intelligent assistant that helps needs and preferences for the first you get things done just by asking. time and humans will begin to use Siri understands context allowing technology in whatever way is most you to speak naturally when you ask comfortable and natural for us” – Bill it questions” – Apple Press Release Gates (link) (link) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diy7rkWkDtU http://www.apple.com/iphone/videos/#tv-ads-siri6 January 17, 2012 Human and Computer Interaction: A HorizonWatching Trend Report © 2012 HorizonWatching Creative Commons Attribution License
