Human-Computer Interfaces From 2003 to 2012.
My favorite forecaster, Gartner, is back with a new series of predictions about the way we'll interact with our computing devices.
Today, most humans convey information to computers through a keyboard and a mouse. Much work has been done since the 1980s to improve speech and handwriting recognition capabilities, but such work has met with limited success.
Through 2012, more than 95 percent (by volume in gigabytes) of human-to-computer information input will remain keyboard- and mouse-based (0.6 probability).
In the mobile context, however, new modes such as handwriting and speech will begin to augment the pen-based interfaces. By 2005, more than 70 percent of new personal digital assistants will offer native support for acceptable cursive handwriting recognition and voice command capabilities (0.8 probability).
For additional predictions, please read the article. And to check if Gartner is right, rendez-vous in 2012.
