What’s the future of user interfaces like? In a matter of 20 years, it will all be about gestural interfaces applied to the real world. Something like Minority Report, basically. And we’ve seen Apple exploring this concept before, with patents surfacing here and there showing how the engineers at Cupertino are indeed considering gesture-based UIs to manipulate objects in a 3D space.
To get a glimpse of what’s coming, take a look at the video below posted by TED 2 days, but recorded back in February. It’s the TED presentation of John Underkoffler, the man who created all the interface and gesture basics behind, indeed, Minority Report.
Impressive.
