Contextual User Interfaces

Ich bin eben über diesen Artikel vom Mai gestolpert: The Rise of Contextual User Interfaces.

...it is now a read/write web full of user-generated content. But there is another fairly recent innovation, which might have just as profound implications. We're speaking of the contextual user interface. [...] The new interfaces are winning people over because they are based on usage patterns instead of choices. The key thing about new UIs is that they are contextual - presenting the user with minimal components and then changing in reaction to user gestures.

Ein guter, nicht zu langer Artikel, mit ebenfalls interessanten Kommentaren.
