The “innovation” article focuses on [...]

GDC Friday: Muybridge’s Motion

One reason GDC 2009 is so exciting is that it provides a showcase for all the newest gadgets that people have been tinkering with for years in labs and offices, garages and basements. In a way, events like these remind me of what the World Expos of the early 1900s used to be like, showcasing [...]

Head-tracking, eye-tracking… what next, brain-tracking? But of course!

dbrendant — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 22:51:48 +0000

As you probably know by now, we like to follow all things “eye-tracking” here at the blog.

Microsoft began promoting a new device last year – the Microsoft Surface. And while it still seems a bit oversized perhaps, it’s good to see they’ve been planning to join the ranks of the touch screen trend that kicked off in earnest with Apple’s iPhone a couple years ago.

Rest in Peace, Mouse… part 3

dbrendant — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 18:12:11 +0000

A couple days ago I posted an article that I came across on Wired.com talking about new UI trends that are overtaking the conventional mouse as the preferred mode of control.
