Augmented Hyper-Reality film: the next interface after touch
While we're all salivating over what may be the next phase of computer interfaces in the form of the Apple tablet, we might as well look to the future of interface dynamics likely to follow: augmented reality. Keiichi Matsuda, a Masters student at the Bartlett School of Architecture in the UK, created this short film called "Augmented (hyper) Reality: Domestic Robocop" to show us what the world might look like in a future home embedded with augmented reality interfaces.
Filled with advertising panels that come to life, the user's concept kitchen is something out of "Alice In Wonderland" with talking appliances and portals to outside landscapes right at your fingertips. If this kaleidoscope vision is indeed the future, we may all need to increase our internal RAM. Check out the video here.

We already had a good chance of coming up with these interfaces, ever since they brought out that lazor keyboard for your black berry. Just a few twists with lazor depth and sensitivity will help this floaty interface come out much sooner.

I still don't understand why people still think we will have to make physical gestures to control things and input information. With how quickly mental interfaces are progressing, it seems like only a matter of time before movement to input data is no longer needed.
In other words, by the time an environment like we see in the video comes about, things would mostly use a wireless neural interface. At least I imagine that will be the case...

Great, so in the future every inch of reality will be covered with banner ads and we'll be so stupid & dull that we need a creepy computer voice to tell us how to make a cup of tea.
It's like a disturbingly cynical sci-fi movie.
