What Is The Next Frontier For Human Computer Interaction?

Imagine this – you are playing a video game and want to interact with the other character. But, instead of using the mouse, you simply rest your eyes on that particular character and almost instantly, you get a response from it.

Wouldn’t that be outstanding?

Eye-tracking replacing a task usually performed by the mouse!

That’s interactivity at a completely different level. And this, indeed, is the future of the multi-billion dollar industry of video gaming.

Eyes can reveal a lot about a person’s intentions, thoughts and actions, as they are good indicators of what we’re interested in. Eye-tracking can help in picking up the cues that are subconsciously given by the other person and hence, in enhancing the overall interaction. The most amazing part about these micro-gestures and expressions is that they are totally intuitive. There’s a lot of potential in eye-tracking in other arenas as well.

Eye-tracking is just one of the varied aspects of technological advancements. There’s much more to this phase of evolution.

Wearables, The Internet of Things and Smart Materials – you have probably come across these terms a number of times.

These realms are opening ways for even more eccentric and unimaginable things, into a future where usability reaches a whole new level.
