Let's assume that the tablet isn't the end-all of consumer computing interfaces. If people were prototyping tablets 15 years ago, what are people prototyping today that will overtake tablets in another 15 years?
I'd guess more seamless integration between mobile devices and stationary components (displays, keyboards). I'd also like to see more portable, hands-free displays, e.g. in glasses or contact lenses.

- coldarchon 15y agoprobably first we see something like in Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within. A holographic device on your wrist, then we get into cyberpunk with glasses, then contact lenses and then implants ..
- jarin 15y agoActually, I think the holographic wrist device could be done with a pair of augmented reality glasses and a wristband with a little AR marker on it for orientation. Of course, you'd be the only one able to see it (unless you're linked up with other people with the same glasses). Actually, that brings up an interesting idea. If a lot of people have AR glasses, they can all experience a shared reality with all kinds of crazy "holographic" stuff flying around. Of course, it's going to be weird for the people who don't have the glasses.
