The Future of Interaction
- neogodless 7y agoThis title put me into one mindset, which was not at all the right one for the article. At least, I don't think so. I think there exists interaction outside of the Apple ecosystem. First, I think you probably have to have read and understood this prerequisite article about Marzipan - https://blog.iconfactory.com/2019/05/what-to-expect-from-marzipan/ https://blog.iconfactory.com/2019/05/what-to-expect-from-mar... Then, you probably have to live, breathe and dream within the Apple ecosystem. Then you can read this article about plans and musings about what might come to pass, particularly with Apple's plans to enter augmented reality (AR). I would suggest that we will not correctly predict the "future" of interaction until it becomes the present, but I do think thoughtful attempts to create great new experiences through technology are interesting.
- burlesona 7y agoIt’s probably more accurate to call this article “the future of UI/UX development on Apple platforms.” That said, I enjoyed the read. I think that HTML + CSS has always been a nice way to lay out and design a screen, even though there are real limits to what you can do in a browser versus native software. The idea of future Apple platforms having something a bit like CSS with media queries to define how views should display - and more interestingly, behave - across multiple platforms, is pretty neat.

I suppose if Apple makes their own version of WPF and UWP, people will jump on it and decide it's great now, but I'm pretty pessimistic that you can scale the same UI/UX across real computers, tablets, phones, TVs, gaming systems, etc etc without getting a subpar common-denominator experience.
