In a research note from January 2006, Gartner analysts expect profound changes in the user interface on workstations, but do not include major technological breakthroughs.
interface evolving
Thus, the concepts of windows "pop-ups and toolbars, considered & # 233; sidered a factor of disturbance for the attention of the user, should disappear Office in favor of a "ribbon" contextual point tool and Preview contextuelle.De same, Vista (the next version of Windows) will thumbnail previews and updated in real time, windows and dialogs less congested, and increased use of three-dimensional effects.
difficult to predict the effectiveness of these changes, but they should make a significant improvement in comfort and productivity, essential to the growth of Working multitasking and processing information in real time.
Vista also provides the "Sidebar" where User combines various gadgets (clock, RSS feeds, status indicators) already known followers of Yahoo Widgets (formerly Konfabulator) or aficionados of Mac OS X.
The animation technologies should also take an increasing role, to add a new dimension to information, this being particularly appreciated & # 233; the younger generation brought up with video games, MTV's visual richness and multi-mode information environments.
Restitution
These interfaces require resources "screen" of constant growth. This should see an increase in resolution and size screens, and extensive use of multiple screens. By age 5, 25-inch screens (or more) and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 should be commonplace, including multi-mode mobile phones display .
By 2009, screens many will be common, but in a "unbalanced". It is not uncommon to have a small screen displaying a calendar or status information, or screen "look" included in the keyboard , telephone or other device to display instant information, including outside a laptop when it is turned off. This should generate many new applications, such as displaying a calendar.
By 2010 the technology-based "electronic paper" displays should allow extra wide, monochrome and low resolution, integrated & co # 251; t limited removable walls or flipchart. In 2015, it should be possible to interact with a wall display with a gesture recognition.
Small displays at low prices should also transform the most common device: there is already a keyboard whose keys are with mini LCD screens, allowing the reconfiguration of the software keyboard.
The audio output should be valued more, packed with users around the world to support their business multitasking music and sounds. It should be expected to manage a proliferation and sound advise to use to avoid "chaos hearing.
Acquisition
Audio capabilities will grow natively in Windows, not only for voice control, or dictation, but also in using the computer as handset & # 233; VoIP.
Similarly, capture video should generalize, at least for the videoconference that for new applications. Office (and OneNote) are provided to manage the capture and recognition of text on paper directly on the user's desktop. The same camera can see that the user's browser arrives at his post and cause ignition of the computer, or pause when the user leaves. The energy savings generated could fund only to alles technology.
Major drawback: when you look at the computer and listening to you constantly, how do you know who listens to what the computer hears? Risks to privacy may be a barrier to widespread adoption.
While Tablet PCs are well developed with improved handwriting recognition, it was not until five years that we should rely on the recognition of a page of handwriting. Toutefoisle stylus is an excellent tool to point, click, copy and paste, and perform all sorrtes graphics.
Recommendations
- Do not get caught by waves recurring media (speech recognition, recognition the handwriting)
- Begin to consider the higher resolution widescreen displays to manage large quantities Information
- Thinking of modest changes to high impact: keypad dynamic tools integrated pointing keyboard (wheel of assistance to navigation)
