From the UX standpoint the problem with Minority Report (MR) is that when you compare it with the tech we had in 2001-02 its completely INSANE, while Her is actually building on top of something we already have
Point in case 12 years ago we didn't have ANYTHING close to the UX in MR, and even today we don't. Any consumer-available motion tracking and gesture recognition is still not comfortable to use in a professional way (ie: for work) as it was in the movie, but voice recognition is much much better than it was in 2002.
Basically Her is like Siri or any other decent voice assistant, but MR is like...........what? kinect? nah, wii? yeah right, leap? yeah right! I can picture tom cruise losing all tracking the moment he rotates his hand...
- 7952 13y agoThe reason that the UX in Minority Report is so compelling is because of the apparent lack of space between your imagination and the computer. It demonstrates expressiveness; the actual mechanics of it are irrelevant. Just because a medium can be expressive doesn't mean that we have the mental capacity to use them. A paint brush can create a seamless link between the painter and imagination, but that doesn't make art any less difficult. You still need practice and imagination.
- msutherl 13y agoThe Minority Report interface was based on actual working prototypes at the MIT Media Lab. After the production of the film, the original researchers (and advisors for the film) launched a startup (Oblong) to develop a product (g-speak), which is about as clumsy as Siri.
