Experiment overview
A forward-looking discussion on human-computer interaction hosted in the unique setting of a private Apple Museum - a garage collection of historical computer models that provided tangible context for the evolution of our relationship with technology.
This collision between computing relics and imagined futures created a time-bending environment where participants could simultaneously touch the past and envision tomorrow’s interfaces.
Main objectives
The project approached human-machine interaction through:
Historical analysis: examining the evolution of user interfaces and interaction paradigms through tangible historical artifacts
Current trend assessment: evaluating emerging technologies like brain-computer interfaces, augmented reality, and haptic systems
Future speculation: considering how these technologies might reshape our relationship with machines and with each other
Achieved results
The event leveraged its unique location to create meaningful connections between computing history and possible futures.
By physically surrounding participants with the evolution of technology, the discussion transcended abstract speculation to become grounded in the tangible progression of human-machine interfaces.
This approach facilitated deeper insights into how interaction paradigms evolve and what factors might influence future developments.
Main reflection
This experiment demonstrated the power of historical context in futuristic speculation.
The discussion revealed that meaningful speculation about future technologies requires understanding not just what might be technically possible, but how we want these technologies to enrich society.
