New interfaces of the (not so distant) future.
So many things happened in the interface and gui evolution since this blog stopped temporarily any kind of posting.
The iphone is certainly the most adopted one but this is only a small part of what is almost on us and that will face in the coming months or years in worst case scenarios.
The excellent design blog Smashing magazine has published a quite good (but not exhaustive summary of it). The Futuristic user interfaces post is fun to read and put a good status on what is happening and the ways that are progressing to made this keyboard/mouse paradigm becoming obsolete.
This confirms that interfaces are designed to be more portable, more intuitive, more immersive, this by strongest ways to surround users or by enhancing reality enabling the mix of additional information over reality.
Have fun!
