At the end of last month, Microsoft to show the world they to the PC era after the idea, that is a touch screen world, touch life came to hand. The outside world is amazing about this. However, once in apple as man-machine interface inventor’s Bret Victor (Bret Victor) for Microsoft’s idea to disagree, he doesn’t think Microsoft paint a rich imagination or innovative interactive interface, called "of the present situation of the tiny progress".

Victor in during his apple, iPad, iPod nano has and "six experiment hardware platform" user interface development concept. He thinks that, using standard, inflexible touch the screen to imagine the future product, such imagination is very limited, but it was only "glass of pictures", a "close to the surface of the false". In his own blog explains:

"Under the glass of the picture is the man-machine interface design of typical examples of rigid. Like the wrist the attack with medicine, refused to acknowledge that people can and interface better interaction. Although this is people imagine the future products love using model, but for me, admitted that the pictures’ glass ‘is the future of the interface, like black and white photos is admitted the future of photography. Obviously, this only as interim technology. And the sooner the better transition."

According to victor’s point of view, use touch the screen will let us sacrificed "rich touch", these rich tactility is we manipulate daily use to real life elements. Victor an example, the main functions of the touch the screen is let us with a finger in one interface sliding operation, however, the gesture in our daily life in operation with almost. He went on to an example:

"We when reading a book, with a pinched fingers the thickness of the pages, or feelings on both sides of the weight of the paper to judge hands on where to read books. When our fingers can feel whether two pages coincidence, if coincidence, we use a finger and friction them apart…… this is why our fingertips is body of the nerve endings of the most densely populated place. Next time you do when the sandwich can watch, you are in the process of tinkering with spices, kitchen utensils in the finger will do a lot of little affectations. We really need to accept a gesture also as make sandwiches more future interface?"

So victor your mind of what the future vision? He didn’t give a clear idea of the future, and just puts forward some hope: "from the human ability to the development of potential without looking for inspiration. And not only from yesterday’s technology, then go to the people that talk. Look at your hands with other parts, whether connected? Yes, hand to arm, shoulder and then is is the body, legs and feet, these are able to free! If we whole body can issue commands, you really think the future of man-machine interface only stay in a finger?"
