Are we really going to accept an Interface Of The Future that is less expressive than a sandwich?
Please do give Bret Victor’s post, “A Brief Rant on the Future of Interaction Design“. The post primarily focuses on expanding our ideas about interaction beyond the “picture under glass” metaphor. It definitely got me thinking:
Q. Human beings have the amazing capacity to ‘think’ an experience and physiologically experience what we thought. The downside of this capability is the stress we feel in our day to day lives. That said, do we need to offload the expressiveness of our minds to a new technology like a tactile mobile device? 
Q. How do we designers go about building upon the capabilities of our hands (and bodies) in new interfaces? Software and UI development is so much easier and cheaper to do. There are business models that support our efforts. Hardware innovation is very expensive. I’d love to explore new types of interactions but how does a small player compete with a Microsoft Kinect?
Just some open-ended questions. If you have any thoughts, please do share them.
Make sure to read the follow-up responses at the bottom of his post. Pretty interesting.
