Sounds like you're describing an electronic chess board[1] being hacked to be a general purpose input. I don't think I've seen something like that before. Start by unlocking your computer by moving the pieces to the right positions, then give the Queen a McDonald's hat, the King a BurgerKing hat, one Bishop a Taco Bell ringer, and proceed in this fashion until one of you checkmates your way to a dinner decision...

- munificent 4y agoIt was just the first random idea that came to mind. But the general point is that when thinking about "interface", we often don't even consider that the interface could be made of physical things and instead implicitly assume pixels on screen. The idea that you could interact with a system not using video is practically unthinkable. Victor's point is that we can't invent what we can't imagine, so it's important to always have visions that seem unattainable and not give in to accepthing things as they are.
