So does this mean in the future GUIs will be custom and on demand depending on the situational context or personal preference? Did we get every spaceship control room wrong? Where the Star Trek bridge would simply morph into whatever gui objects were necessary? (I can’t imagine them going away entirely and EVERYONE talking to the ships computer as it would be audio chaos and annoying a/f so I guess we’ll always need a nice quiet user interface.)

LCARS, the control panel UI in TNG/DS9/VOY/LD was always supposed to be quickly reconfigurable to the task at hand. But the prop implementation was usually sheets of translucent acrylic under glass, which isn't that easy to update.

That is pretty compelling. Probably another layer you use by default but can swipe to the gui search layer or full control. As usual, nerds will default to full control.
