How Technology Shapes the Way We Move, Speak, and Think
The influential computer scientist Mark Weiser once wrote that
a good tool is an invisible tool. By invisible, I mean that the tool does not intrude on your consciousness; you focus on the task, not the tool.
By this definition, many of our digital tools seem to have succeeded completely; they liberate our bodies by becoming invisible to users. Touchless technologies such as gesture control, voice recognition, and eye tracking aspire to channel our pure, natural expressions.
- Gesture control
- Voice recognition
- Eye tracking
Such an interface has long been the holy grail for designers, with examples including the Wii motion console and Leap Motion, as well as the gadgets we all now carry in our pockets, aiming to erase the boundary between our bodies and our information.
