Having worked as a researcher at Dynamicland, I think this is one of the most important bits from the end of the article: > A lot of what's new about Dynamicland is that it's a programming system! We've had projection mapping, physical UIs, gestures, etc for years, but this is the first system that puts them together in a user-programmable editing environment. An analogy might be Xerox PARC in the 70s and early 80s. Alan Kay and his team saw hardware shrinking and becoming cheaper, saw powerful UIs demo'd in research settings, and had the spark of creativity to combine these elements synergistically into Smalltalk, a programming system to support a brand new expressive medium. Similarly, the research vision of Dynamicland / Realtalk is to make a more humane and accessible dynamic medium. This is only the first version, with (hopefully, depending on funding) many more versions to come. For a bit more information about the vision see my own demo made in the precursor to Dynamicland, a sweaty game called Laser Socks: http://glench.com/LaserSocks/ http://glench.com/LaserSocks/
