- Description
- Desktop computing—controlling a graphical user interfaces with a keyboard and mouse—was developed in the 1960s and came to prominence in the 1980s. At the time, the low input bandwidth of keyboard and mouse perfectly matched the low processing power of computers. The desktop interface brilliantly took advantage of what that input could provide to build a powerful, extensible graphical user interface. While input technology (e.g., capacitive touch screens) and processing power to interpret more complex data (e.g., real-time image processing) has advanced tremendously in the forty years since the introduction of the mouse and keyboard combination, desktop computing has perpetuated the mouse and keyboard as primary input devices. Recently, alternative computing technologies have started to rely on more sophisticated input and processing to enable more natural user interfaces—where the computer processes complex input to correctly interpret user intent to create a more intuitive interface ( Wigdor and Wixon, 2011). Multi-touch technologies (handhelds, tablets, tabletops and whiteboards) are at the forefront of this revolution.
