UbiComp Videos
Quite an extensive list of videos that demonstrate ubiquitous computing interfaces - both the crazy stuff from sci-fi movies as well as UX classics like Apple’s Knowledge Navigator and Sun’s Starfire project. The range of concepts is broad enough that they probably should have included the mother of all demos, if only as a tribute.
Several of these were shown at the “Video Visions of the Future” panel at CHI, which included Hugh Dubberly, Bruce Tognazzini, and a guest appearance by Bill Buxton, who had some great rants on the importance of time-based “sketching” of interface concepts using video.
I couldn’t find anything that Buxton had written about on using video as a design tool on his website, but there’s a ton of other interesting articles, all online. Random aside: I met him at DUX last year when he sat down with a bunch of us grad students all having breakfast before the sessions and for about fifteen glorious minutes held forth with his visions of the future of computing. It was one of those moments that makes overpriced conferences like DUX worth it.
