This document explores future interactions with laptops, including existing modalities like mouse/keyboard, voice recognition, and gestures. It discusses using head tracking and retinal displays. The future of holographic projection is examined, which would involve projecting 3D objects into real space for interaction rather than on a screen. Existing techniques for this like adaptive methods are described. The document also references analyzing human behavior and developing a "Behavior Wizard" to understand how behaviors change over time. A head tracking application was created, and the conclusion is that people prefer improving existing modalities rather than new ones, and to gradually phase things out while exploring combination approaches.

1. F.L.I : Future of Laptop Interactions
exploration of future Interaction modalities

2. What we learnt

3. The existing interaction modalities
Mouse and keyboard
Voice recognition
Gesture based interactions
Head tracking ( face detection)
OHD
Retinal displays

4. Technology of the future : Holographic projection
Projecting a 3D object into real space
Interaction with the object in real space
rather than a screen
Not achieved in the true sense
Various adaptive techniques used

5. Existing Techniques

6. How people behave

7. BEHAVIOUR WIZARD
The Three Durations of Behaviours: Dot, Span, and Path
The Five Flavours of Behaviour
Based on the familiarity and frequency of
a particular behaviour there are
five flavours of behaviour namely:
Green – new behaviour
Blue – familiar behaviour
Purple – increase behaviour
Grey – decrease behaviour
Black – stop behaviour

9. What we have done

10. Head tracking application

11. Inferences
People are reluctant to change
Improve upon the existing modalities rather than go for the new ones
Gradually phase out
Combine modalities
Explore existing options
