New discussion site for post-PC interfaces
Sep 26, 2001 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — 1 viewsA note to the LinuxDevices.com community from the editor of Nooface.net . . .
I just set up a new Slash site at http://nooface.net to discuss post-PC interfaces. The goal of the site is to promote out-of-the-box thinking about truly next-generation user interfaces that are designed for new types of users and computing devices, and go beyond the WIMP… (Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointing-device) method that most current interfaces are based on.
Some of the topics discussed include visual user interfaces; web sensing and visualization; information appliance interfaces; user interface innovation; next-generation I/O peripherals; search interfaces; alternative web architectures; gesture input; 3D browsers; virtual worlds; game interfaces; wearable computing; data visualization; command-line interfaces; and UI development resources.
Check it out if you're interested.
