Another Interesting though was about 3D space while I have been using the remote. I kept turning to face the computer to increase the volume yesterday. Took me an hour to remember that blue tooth is non-directional. and furthermore music is a completely directionless medium. Got me thinking about how people are going to be controlling systems in the future. With displays getting bigger and systems becoming smaller their actual pervasiveness/opbviousness in homes will eventually disappear. I.E no system apparent and displays on every surface (think those smart LCD(?) screens that are mirror when turned off)
Two points come form this musing.
1. Some media and communication don't need a point of physical reference, how then can the physical space not being use improve/added to?
2. I feel that Web 2.0 only provide some physical reference point that happens to be in the same place at the same time. The control of the applications are defined by the Input device. Give a application directionless and systemless control and everything can be used for input. Assign arbitrary object in space a virtual reflection (I.E. pen in pocket is an input device and can write on wall in public, Milk in fridge is email, check email in the morning while making coffee). Add systemless and directionless control to the applications the only restrictions of the system is the display device.
Unfortunaley I think this will be the last thing to be brought into the new milenium. Where's the contact len displays already? ... or failing that wearable projectors.
