We are living in an era where everything is changing rapidly. Our current tools will be outnumbered by many other excellent ones in the next few decades. We do not have precise sensors or clever voice assistants yet, but they certainly will be in our lives in the future. We are sensing many things are changing, but we don’t know the manners yet. Some people will invent new disruptive ways of communication and interaction. New interfaces will be born out of these new interactions.
Some people among us define the future by crossing the lines. They can see from totally different angles and match the right interfaces with the right controls. Some options are already at the table: voice, sensors, or maybe mind. We don’t know the exact solutions yet, but designers should be prepared for the future to think about how to design interfaces for tomorrow’s human-computer interaction.
