Presentation i made at OReily Ignite. Bangalore November 2008

2. The origin of modern user interface

3. Then the switches shrunk...

4. And the user interface to the user interface(Switches) changed

6. Then we abstracted a little more

9. We abstract even without knowing we do... Pixels Polygons Textures Maps ?

10. We went from

11. To

12. So we abstracted parts of reality into the user interface?

13. Hmm... Thats a good pointer to the future So whats left?

14. 3d displays and gestures

15. Integrated displays – Reality distortion goggles?

16. Voice? Voice?

17. Thought based actions http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/academic/fp223-lee.pdf

18. Neural Impulse Actuator

19. 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.

20. Thanks
