Dan Olsen Brigham Young UniversityMoore's Law Meets Physiology: The Future of Interactive Systems
February 8, 2002
When the graphics frame buffer became cheap enough to be standard
on every workstation and Xerox/Apple developed the desktop metaphor
of interaction most human-computer interaction research focused
on that model. The desktop metaphor has been exhaustively explored,
while Moore's Law of computing capacity has marched on. If we
consider the next 10 years of computing growth and compare that
against the static capacities of human beings, where does that
lead us in terms of human-computer interaction. Where are the
next targets of opportunity?
