Always-available natural user interfaces
I met with Desney Tan at Microsoft Research today, who walked me through a few mind-blowing demos and prototypes he has recently developed. One of his prototypes demonstrates the capabilities of using on-body musclecomputer inputs that can be integrated into garments. Listening to Tan articulately describe a bloom of possibilities and how he sees the evolution of interfacing was incredibly inspiring. Just imagine the potential.

December 15, 2009This is very exciting. imagine the potential this could have beyond computing interfaces. you could control the drape and fit of a dress dynamically in real time. you could create a synthetic experience in real life. Read Tan, have to follow that guys twitter page

December 21, 2009How Asimov is this!! Very exciting. There are so many possibilities: it feels like the first time a group worked with the seminal ideas that made computers possible.
