Man-Computer Interface Reimagined

We've all grown watching computer user interfaces change over the years. From text-only terminals to graphic user interfaces with its multiple windows.

But, as things keep evolving, is it time to re-think even those basic concepts?

Watch the following video on how things might look like in the not so distant future.

  1. The multitouch pad approch seems really nice. The kind of ribbon with all the windows seems restrictive, though.
    Lots of times I work with two or three windows arranged on the screen. Some applications need just a tiny square while others a rectangle, etc.
    With the ribbon proposed here, it gets awkward to work with multiple applications (the opposite as it should), don't you think?

  2. Well, that's why it's just a concept video, to give new ideas on how future interfaces might be.

    Somewhere along the way, someone will come up with a truly revolutionary(or evolutionary) idea that is both feasible and practical for everyday use... and we'll be here waiting for it. :)
