The GUI of computers could be largely rethought, especially after the introduction of mobile devices which raised consumer expectations of user interfaces. I look forward to more subtle touch gestures.
Disagree. They are rethinking DESKTOP UI's these days somehow using "mobile" as argument, and everything after KDE 3.5 and Gnome 2 has only become worse instead of better. Please give me back the proper desktop UIs.
The two interfaces really have different styles. The dual 21 inch setup a couple feet from me does not need to behave at all like the 5 inch display in the palm of my hand. The very suggestion that they would baffles me.
I still think this is a very interesting idea, but haven't seen any attempt at implementation yet.
