There are a few benefits to the Her interface:
1. Your hands are free to read a novel
2. You don't have to carry a screen around
3. Even if there is a small, finite set of options that you can present on a screen, you should still be able to select them verbally.
4. If you want to ask a question, or ask for a suggestion, you should be able to do so free form.
5. If "Her" knows your preferences and allergies, she can just suggest the cluster of good ones.
6. Once you know what you want, you can just tell her "the usual"
7. In the "Her" interface, the teenager will never misspeak, any more than the screen will show you the wrong picture or misunderstand your touch.
8. If there is a screen or board present, the Her interface should be able to see it as well, and sort of work with you to make a selection. <- I know some indecisive people who would love this, and their loved ones would love this even more.
- XorNot 9y agoThe Her interface like all fictional voice interfaces benefits from the actors reading from a script. Try dictating a simple email sometime. The best voice recognition in the world won't solve the problem that it's very hard to do (also, that movie utterly left out important corrollaries like all the people everywhere he was would have been speaking in weird monosyllabic commands and leaking personal information in public). As I write this in a hotel foyer, I'm very glad for my predictive keyboard. The Her interface looks good only because its in a scripted movie. Because its the Wish-fulfillment interface in the plot.
