AI Bring Back Analog Interfaces
How current AI technology could bring back physical analog interfaces
Let us talk about how AI can radically transform user interface design. Specifically, I want to talk about how AI can bring back physical analog interfaces with buttons, dials, and sliders.
One of my visions is an AI-powered smartphone called the Raven AI, which does not have a display at all. That means bucking an entrenched trend, since 2007 when the first iPhone got released.
