The future of desktop computing

fuck that, i don't like waving my hands and arms everywhere. I like moving my fingers a few inches and controlling the entire interface. I don't even use a mouse.

I wouldnt mind the ability to add mods for control gui in the desktop* touchscreens.

Like a startrek looking interface to control a space flight sim. that would get my dick hard

Although I dont think I'd want 1 swingarm monitor and 3 built-in desk monitors with fuckhuge bezels.
Probably 2-3 monitors and 1 large desk touch input screen

See it's people like you who are the problem. We have experts in ergonomics that design incredible systems for interacting with computers but then there's idiotic consumers who watch scifi and think that's what the future should look like and discount it out of hand so instead we have gigantic touch screen running at 1366 by 738 becoming the norm.

Of course they're going to wave their hands around and touch gigantic buttons that are clearly legible on television, the audience couldn't follow along if they were using data hands with a well designed GUI made for productive work. It's a fantasy.

Looks good in a scifi movie but part of me is wondering: Will these touch screen desks or whatever be user serviceable?

I do not believe so. I think that in 10 years I won't have monitors, I will do all my work and play using a head mounted VR display.

>>43263502

>Interactive porn that you can control by slapping your dick on the screen

Why is this the first thing I thought of?

In my opinion I think stuff like this will catch on, but for there to really be any major ux changes I think it has to start with something major at the os or hardware level. Computerphile is badass though.

Literally the only better option to control a computer than a mouse/keyboard, is mental control. As its instantaious and exactly what you want it to do with no confusion. It elimates misspelling a word for example, because once a mental link is established, it can account for your faillings in real time and correct it.

Also, VR would be better than a monitor. Rather than trying to focus in on just the rectangle and trying to ignore the bezel and the wall behind the computer, you'd just have nothing but your work/applications to look at....

Touch and speech is a dead-end!!!

>>43265696
I don't get that, why have such high DPI if you need to upscale to use it

>>43265716
Because silky smooth picture quality that's why

>>43265696
Then why pay for an 8k monitor and the GPU power needed to run it? Even 4K at the size of a desktop monitor is tiny as fuck.

>>43265701
My guess was a bit off then. 90-100ppi is comfortable from desktop viewing distances, but up to 110 is fine too. Higher than that is not.

>not using a tiling window manager
All of that wasted screen space... Why?
>look you can zoom and rotate windows and drag them around

It's already bad and shows no sign of getting better, prolly just gonna get worse until a societal collapse, and I dont look forward to that either.

>>43263502

I don't think that will be the future strictly talking, but it sketches some interesting ideas.

>>43266295

These ideas are around at least since 15 years. There is really nothing new to see in OP's video.

>>43266074
arguably the period inbetween the early 2000's and the invention of smartphones were the most free we've ever been tech-wise
There are enough people motivated by freedom that i'd reasonably expect that barring another platform shift we will have completely free, baseband-included, phones generally available for those interested in a few years and we will be back where we started

>>43266339

15 years or not, when an idea is a good idea, one must acknowledge it.

There is also another thing, why would you use a gazillion screens, graphics cards, and computers, while you could be projecting 4K video on a wall and capturing movements with embedded sensors in said wall at the same time to move stuff around?

>>43266375
$K you mean?

I don't see anything which is physically big, so it takes a lot of space, becoming the norm in computing anytime soon.

And it will also not be cheap. Takes a lot of space + expensive = not the norm, ever.

>>43266435

"The projecting wall" could be useful in an investigation room, or a class. Tho I don't know about it's expensiveness.

>>43263502
>that glare

>>43263502
I think a short throw projector and depth camera would be cheaper, more versatile, and lack bezels.

>>43266435
When will I get my Million K Hologram monitor where I can enlarge it to any size I want without suffering any quality issues?

>>43264852

Feminists will get lonely and destroy it.

I can see this having specialized applications, but who the fuck would consider this a good everyday computer?

>>43263502
Thats literally the worst attempt at making a video about a guy that thinks that he's thinking outside of the box.
I thought it was going to be a ripoff of project looking glass a decade later, but it's just some old guy being a show off with more monitors.

>table computer
looking down all day is bad erogonomics and people know it, that's why people use stands with their tablets or cases that prop them up, also why laptops are angled the way they are (also some other factors like shitty screens have shitty view angles)

and the problem with touch/motion controls on a vertical surface is your hands tire fast if it is a desktop sized screen.

>>43265709
Mental control would be shit unless we filtered out 90% of what we sent the computer's way.

People aren't always 100% focussed on things. There are usually other thoughts knocking about in our heads that would easily fuck up whatever we were casually directing towards the computer.

when will people realize that the keyboard/mouse combo is the pinnacle of computer input technology.

why the fuck do people think that touching the fucking screen is somehow going to give you better control than a mouse pointer. first of all you can't even see what's under your finger when touching the screen.

dumb fucks

>>43266917
It's also why any traditional animators tend to use equipment that is slanted.

For example, I used to date someone who specialized in traditional 2d animation; she used a simple light box, but it was slanted, and all the other people she knew who animated worked in very much the same way.

It's why animator desks are also slanted.

>>43263502
The wall will probably have more use than the table though the uses for meeting/desk surface is also there

>>43263502
These have been out for quite some time now and there's a reason why no one uses them. These will never catch on, regardless of how hard you shill for it.

>>43263502
Frankly, if Intel and AMD don't get their shit together and actually push performance on desktop CPUs, the rig I'll be shitposting on in ten years will be the same one I'm shitposting on today.

Well, the Gigabyte Brix are a solid option for small form factor, but for the price (they're damn expensive and still don't include storage or memory) you could build a basic mATX rig with more options, easier to replace parts, and much better cooling.

When a desktop i7 (equivalent) can run at full load without overheating and throttling in a small form-factor, along with a fantastic integrated graphics model, that will change things quite a bit.

What's the user gonna do, move over to PowerPC? HA!

The death of multiple-architectures (Symbolized by PowerPC mac) competing on the desktop was the death of this industry.

Coincidentally apple dropped PowerPC just one year before the iPhone decided to finish the industry off by giving normalfags easy-to-use smartphones, leading into the iPad and the death of the netbook.

>>43271563
The death of the netbook started long before the ipad. Microsoft's damage control for the netbooks did really well to hinder the proliferation of Linux on the netbook.

>>43271544
go take your sugar pill bullshit elsewhere. you can't placebo your way out of a shitty workspace environment.

>>43271591
Oh yeah, but now there's cheap android netbooks providing a viable alternative for normalfags who want to cheap out on a net-viewing device.

I miss when they were forced to buy Windows XP netbooks. (Linux would have been more ideal, but still.)

I'm too lazy to even try and tidy up this phrasing to make me sound less anti-consumer. I just don't like tablets, and I do like netbooks. I accept my preference has lost, but nothing stops me wishing otherwise.
