The Future Of User Interface

(near) Future of User Interface By Ramya Prajna S – December, 2008

Smaller or Bigger The size of the interface (display) getting smaller (mobile phone) or getting BIGGER (table/wall) ?

Smaller Cursor vs No Cursor (highlight) When the size is getting smaller… It’ll control by cursor or just highlight (like there were no mouse around) ??

Smaller More Image vs More Text Speed of mobile connection gone wild… It could be more image (or even videos content) …or… Just stay focus on function as text information.

Smaller More Design vs Less Design With the minimum size of display, but high-speed mobile connection… The Design will become as good as we seen on desktop (and the user interface become better) …or… It doesn’t need the ‘design’ , the information still stand for the first (and only) priority.

Bigger Single Cursor vs Multi Cursor Most people get introduced with the fact that a mouse comes one package with the computer it self. Then they only know computer with single cursor . But Jeff Han (Perspective Pixel) or Microsoft Surface show us another possibilities. What if there are multiple mouse in one single computer? What if there are multi cursor (or controller) in one display?

Bigger Vertical Scroll vs Horizontal Scroll Bigger space can fit more content… A lot of content in one page can goes Vertically or Horizontally .

Bigger ‘ Boxed’ Layout vs Free Space Layout The whole display area is the active area… The place holding a content will stay on Boxed (Window style) … or… Each element of content will stand for it self and the layout is free to modify .

“ The History repeat it self”
Book Page = Web Page
Terminology of Book Page used for Web Page

Paper Scroll = Page Scroll
It so obvious that scroll goes for any long format in any century.

Stretch = Resize
From time to time people stretch out thing to resize it (bigger or wider)

Stretch = Resize
Twisting = Rotate
Etc
v To make a rotation it always need a pivot point and direction of the rotation. there are still many thing that work based on everyday stuff.

Future
Virtual Keyboard
Though it is awkward to use on screen keyboard because there isn’t bounce motion from the pad… … but we have to get use to it because the area will need more display (and the keyboard).

Future
Multi-Touch
Using multi controller in one screen give effectiveness. Collaboration of more than one finger... Collaboration of more than one hand… Collaboration of more than one person… It’s century of collaboration (and start it with web 2.0).

Future
Revolution of Ergonomic
Where are the display? At the table? On the wall? So how the position of using computer? Sit straight or move forward to the table… like the old days when we’re reading the book on the library. Or in standing position? Right-Handed? Left-Handed? It doesn’t matter, both hand work functionally.

Future
Revolution of User Interface
Window – Button – Click – Drag – Highlight – Copy - Cut – Paste - … “ Plug n Play” is sound very lame, could it be “Put n Play”. It will never go the same. How ‘bout… Notebook with both display and active interaction area, at lid and keyboard area. Public computer is just a long wall. Your table is your computer. And many thing will be change.
