- The larger point is this: Our interfaces are driven almost entirely by available technology, rather than developing the technology necessary to create better interfaces.
Very true. The problem with it is that we either need a) someone with that long-term vision and resources or b) an existing technology being used for a new interface and catching on. The former reminds me of Apple after they bought NeXT and the second seems improbable with today's glassy swipey touchey surfaces.
- Here's a funny one: Philips solved 3D. Straight up. Fuck glasses. Fuck everything.
Yeah, now that you mention it, I remember that. Philips basically made Eindhoven a city and they did some cool demos of that technology in that area, such as a nearby themepark (it's WOWvx tech, it seems to be the same you described although I don't know enough to tell).
