Introduction: The keyboard, from typewriters to modern-day computers, has been the primary interface for humans to communicate with digital systems. As technology has evolved, we’ve seen the integration of touch keyboards, voice-to-text systems, and even gesture-based inputs. Yet, the QWERTY layout and fundamental structure remain persistent. In the
world
of human-computer interaction (HCI), how can we reimagine keyboards to be more intuitive, efficient, and suited for the future?
Discussion Points:
- How can advancements in Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) reshape the design and functionality of keyboards to better align with modern digital interactions, and what insights from your experiences in interaction design can guide this evolution over the next decade?
