Killer Scifi Interface – Jason Coleman’s Blog Blog – BE Communities by Bentley

Killer Scifi Interface – Jason Coleman’s Blog Blog – BE Communities by Bentley Jason say- Many folks seem to call these interfaces “Minority Report” type (after the 2002 film of that name, which was in-turn based on the 1956 short story by genius author, Philip K. Dick – which ironically didn’t feature any such interface at all!). Now, I’m not sure if this is quite the interface for the next version of Bentley Structural (or even version 100!).But the idea of haptic interfaces isn’t new and is all around us (e.g. – the Nintendo Wii in my living room or the touchscreen on my iPhone). I’d argue even the humble mouse interface was a bigger leap forward in this direction that getting from now to what is shown as the holographic interface in this video. And as these tools find more practical uses, they will likely find their way into the interfaces of CAD software like Microstation and modeling tools like Bentley Structural.
