I have not yet seen "Her", but this strongly reminded me of Ender's communication with Jane from the "Ender's Game" sequels. One of the most interesting facets to their conversations is that Ender could make sub-vocal noises in order to convey his points—short clicks of his teeth and movements of his tongue—that Jane could pick up on but humans around him could not. It is the "keyboard shortcuts" of oral communication.
If "Her" is really the future to HCI, then sub-vocal communication is a definite installment as well.

- knorby 13y agoI don't think the trailers did much in the way of demoing the movie's focus on UI. People just murmured commands, and in the case of the AIs, conversations. I have Google Glass, and the pre-AI UI experience was extremely similar, just more audio focused. The point is that everyone is using this extremely natural interface, and no one really cares what other people are doing.
- jdiez17 13y agoI'm in the same boat - I haven't seen Her yet, but the premise instantly reminded me of Jane. The "discrete plug" looks pretty similar to what I imagined Ender's device to be. Perhaps they drew inspiration from those books, I really enjoyed them.
