Human-Computer Interfaces, MultiTouch and the Death of the Mouse


Check out this human-computer interface concept from Clayton Miller (10/GUI). Will we forever be using a mouse to click windows? Probably not. So...then what's next?

"The mouse and the windowed desktop are perhaps the two greatest innovations in the history of human-computer interaction. But like all innovations, they are best seen as part of a continuum rather than a terminus.

The mouse and the window led us out of the confines of the keyboard and the text prompt to the world of graphical and spatial possibility we enjoy today. But there's no reason to stop there."
