"If technology doesn't seem like magic, it's probably obsolete."
The time is
coming...maybe?
That quote is from martinlittle.com where it serves as the subtitle
for the site.Tom Smith's theOTHERblog contains a entry for February 17
entitled "Mind-Numbing New Interface Technologies" and linked to this site. On page 2 of the article is a
reference to the several scenes in the movie "Minority
Report" wherein Tom Cruise dons data gloves and uses them to
manipulate various forms of data appearing on a giant screen (holographic, if I
recall correctly).I have to confess
that several times over the last year I have searched the Web to check on the
availability of data gloves and other alternative input devices. Surely I'm not
the only one to see the possible connections between such technology and what we
are trying to do?Just a random thought
or two....
