Death of the mouse

I’m currently trying to finish writing a controversial post to end the year on but December is proving to be madly busy work wise! In the meantime though I just wanted to mention the Chinwag Event I attended last week. Very well run and some interesting thoughts on where the digital industry might be in 5 years time.

One of the thoughts that came up was the changing nature of the human interface with technology and the “death of the mouse”. It was mooted by someone that perhaps the key development in this area had already happened in the form of the Wii. Either way I reckon I could probably do with getting one of these for Xmas!

Glad you enjoyed the event. The other prediction that sprung to mind was the brain-implanted search engine.

You just think about what you want and a search engine pops it into your head. No more studying. Instead of researching things, the information would be at your fingertips. Or eyeballs. Or something!

Hi guys,

Saw your comments about HCI design, and had a dig round for this.. a wonderful piece of work from our friends at the Institute for Interactive Research. its quite old now, but charming nevertheless...
