In this age of Web2.0, Mashups etc..... I have been wondering what would be possible in the HCI space! Not so much in the UI/UX side of things - as they bring up commerisation and the friction caused by the "normality" barrier - but more in the space of what tactile experience means and the industrial design aspects of what makes IPhone a hit, for example.
I reckon this series of articles/posts/videos from Johnny Chung Lee - a Ph.D Graduate Student from the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at the Carnegie Mellon University - has really nailed down some interesting scenarios with just the Wiii remote.
Just look at this demos, they are brilliant in their simplicity, elegance and application; and a great example of what is will now be in the pipeline in the near future.
btw, NB these demos only need the WII remote (aka the $20-30? device not the full monty) for these to work (will confirm later as I know a few HCI wonks trying these out since I passed on the link to them :) )
I just wonder at which conference will a speaker have a go at a "Minority Report" style presentation?
It would be one hell of a presentation style!
Does anyone know of someone that tried it?
I reckon one man that will have a go, it would be Rob Burke, if he has not already, Rob? :D
