Interface Obsession Syndrome - round two...
2008-07-04 11:58:00 Follow on from The Six Kinds of Anti-FOSS Trolls, where I dropped a little bomb about interfaces, and followed up with Interface Obsession Syndrome. Thank all of you who've been responding, and have kept your rebuttals in the 'discussion and debate' range, rather than getting hot about it. I of course don't expect everybody to see it my way. I've seen this before; I get ahead of my time and what I say today, others end up saying five years later. So, I'll just gently nudge us towards a few points I'd like to point out, helped along by your well-thought-out comments, and probably leave it at that for now. "The king is wearing no cloths Troll" posted... "Some FOSS projects are half-done and really need to be fixed (a geek might like em, but real users need it finished, so not to have to dig in and do command line this and that)." I will never understand the stigma against command lines. Are there people out there who were beaten with keyboards when they were children? Ev...
Interface Obsession Syndrome
2008-07-01 23:33:00 Who has Interface Obsession Syndrome? The computing world, that's who. All of it: designers, users, open source software, proprietary software, web designers, web surfers. Everybody. It's a disease. Last post, I boldly proclaimed (using my proclaiming voice, which makes the font bold and a size larger), "There is not a single thing wrong with a single FOSS program's user interface, anywhere, period." And I expected to get some reactions, and I did, and I'm ready to explain that line. I'll tell you right now: you're going to disagree with me. This will be one more of those times when you all wonder if I've gone off my rocker, and I will have to explain it again and again, and then a few more readers each time will gradually pick up the idea, until I've reached all that I can reach. But what the hey, you probably needed the intellectual exercise anyway. Here goes nothing: (1) Before there were computers, before there was technology, there was just humans and nature. (2) N...

Windows 7 to Feature Multi-touch Interface
2008-05-29 08:21:00 After months of speculation, finally, Microsoft has disclosed some details about the next version of Windows after Vista dubbed "Windows 7" with the obvious highlight being a multi-touch interface.As per the information available, it appears that Windows 7 will boast multi-touch interface support. Last year, at Wall Street Journal's conference, "D: All Things Digital", Bill Gates introduced an all new concept in computing named "Surface". "Surface" exploits touch/multi-touch capabilities to provide users with a natural way to interact with computing devices.This year, Microsoft showcased how few of the multi-touch innovations previewed earlier would enhance Windows 7. The demonstration video posted on Microsoft Windows Client Communications Team Director Chris Flores' blog shows how a user can edit and manipulate photos with his fingertips, navigate a map, and play virtual piano.In his blog post, Flores wrote, "Touch is quickly becoming a common way of directly interacting with so...

Microcircuits: The Interface between Neurons and Global Brain Function
2008-05-22 14:05:00 Publisher: The MIT Press; 1 editionLanguage: EnglishISBN: 0262072785Paperback: 472 pagesData: August 11, 2006Format: PDFDescription: Microcircuits, functional modules that act as elementary processing units bridging single cells to systems and behavior, could provide the link between neurons and global brain function. Microcircuits are designed to serve particular functions; examples of these functional modules include the cortical columns in sensory cortici, glomeruli in the olfactory systems of insects and vertebrates, and networks generating different aspects of motor behavior. In this Dahlem Workshop volume, leading neuroscientists discuss how microcircuits work to bridge the single cell and systems levels and compare the intrinsic function of microcircuits with their ion channel subtypes, connectivity, and receptors, in order to understand the design principles and function of the microcircuits.The chapters cover the four major areas of microcircuit research: motor systems, inc...

Microsoft demonstrates inexpensive wall based multi touch interface
2008-05-17 16:29:00 As early as June 2007 i had written a small article on "Microsoft Surface" the real magic. Well it now seems that the 'Surface' table wasn't big enough.Microsoft envisions your walls as computers. At the CEO Summit 2008 Bill Gates demonstrated the "TouchWall", a new hardware technology from Microsoft that creates a touch based white board interface that lets users interact more naturally with data and applications on their computer. However as per Microsoft the two products (Microsoft Surface and TouchWall) are completely different.Surface is a multi-touch and vision system that uses cameras to sense what is on the table, where it is and what it is doing. Whereas TouchWall consists of three infrared lasers that scan a surface. A camera notes when something breaks through the laser line and feeds that information back to the Plex software. While Surface retails at around $10,000, for TouchWall is just "hundreds of dollars".Heres a quick video demonstration of "TouchWall"

GOOGLE OPENS GEOGRAPHIC SEARCH INTERFACE
2008-05-13 22:23:00 John Hanke, head of Google Maps and Google Earth, speaks at the Where 2.0 conference in Burlingame, Calif.(Credit: Stephen Shankland/CNET Networks) BURLINGAME, Calif.--Google added a new element to its search interface that will let others' Web sites use geographically linked information. The company has opened up outside access to its Geo Search API (application programming interface), said John Hanke, head of Google Earth and Google Maps, at the Where 2.0 conference here Tuesday. That means other Web sites incorporating Google Maps will be able to find geographic features that are in Google's database but that previously were visible only through Google's own map site. Google previously shared only some geographic data through its search API: businesses within a search of a local area. With the search API now producing broader results, a Web site could show not just the Marriott hotel near San Francisco International Airport but also nearby jogging trails, Hanke said. "...

Keep in touch: a tactile-vision intimate interface
2008-05-07 19:08:00 Keep in Touch designed by Nima Motamedi at Simon Fraser University, Canada, is a networked fabric touchscreen designed to support and maintain intimacy for couples in long distance relationships. To achieve this she created a novel sensorial interface by combining the visual and tactile senses together. Each partner is presented with a blurred digital projection of their lover. When they touch their partner's body, the image comes into focus revealing their features.In the paper presented at TEI in 2007, the authors describe how this sensory mapping creates an expressive and emotional interface allowing couples to communicate through touch, gestures, and body language.See also her paper: The aesthetics of touch in interaction design!See also Mutsugoto by Tomoko Hayashi, Stefan Agamanolis and Matthew Karau.

techcrunch : Single User Interface For Twitter And FriendFeed
2008-05-07 12:49:00 Note: Unless you are a Twitter and/or FriendFeed addict, this post isn?t for you.Twitter / FriendFeed desktop client Alert Thingy just released version 1.3 of the software.It is now a fully functioning client for both services (reading and writing). They?ve also added an easy Flickr uploader - just drag a photo into the application and upload it to Flickr.The thing I like most about the new version of Alert Thingy though is that you access Twitter and FriendFeed in a single window and a single interface (Twhirl, a competitor, requires two windows). That means less desktop space is used. They are also de-duping Twitter messages (since they also appear in FriendFeed), a nice touch.Switching between Alert Thingy, Twhirl and even the newer browser sidebar with similar functionality is trivially easy - there are no real switching costs. That means all of these products will be in a constant battle over features. That?s great for us users. And since Alert Thingy and Twhirl are more side p...
