Being Human

Friday, July 17th, 2009

I recently came across a Microsoft Research report entitled “Being Human” which I thought was worth sharing with you. The report is a result of the “HCI 2020″ conference, held by Microsoft Research in Spain that aimed to answer the question “What will Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) be like in 2020?”. The report explores changes in our world - technologies, people and society, changes in interaction and then presents a view of the future. It will be interesting to see the crossover with these views and what gaming will offer in the future.
