Interfaces
Computing is all about interface.

Ubiquitous Computing
Can we interact with computers without an interface? “Ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) is a post-desktop
model of human-computer interaction in which information processing has been thoroughly integrated into everyday objects and activities.” - Ubiquitous_computing (Wikipedia).
Using music, instead of displays, to represent stock market data.
– Using this method, users are able to spot trends more accurate.

Tangible UserInterface
Microsoft Surface Retractable – Musical
instrument. Marble Answering Machine by
Durrell Bishop (1992).– A marble represents a single
message left on the answering machine. Dropping a marble into a dish plays back the associated message or calls back the caller. – ‘Tangible User Interface’ (Wikipedia)
