A Brief Rant on the Future of Interaction Design
Can’t help but love stuff like this: a look into the future of how we’ll interact with computers, even though this concept by Microsoft doesn’t really bring any new ideas we haven’t seen before. The part of a future device where payment, phone, computer, ID etc. has merged to one is nothing new, but it’s still very interesting. It’s so logical, but still faces many real life obstacles. Also interesting to look at how we can make the fluent transitions work as well as it’s depicted here. Following above link leads you to Bret Victor who points out even more critical issues with this ‘vision’, especially in regards to our tactile experiences of how we interact with our surroundings, which are great and valid points.
I believe it was the same point that Marko Ahtisaari, design director of Nokia, was making when I heard him recently (introducing the N9) comparing our current interaction with smartphones to how we interacted with early cars which were controlled with a tiller for the first 20 years of existence.
But still, if you have a little bit of gadget freak in you and are interested in interaction design the video is worth your time.
