Conjecture of Future Interface Design trend: Guide Design trend

Article Description: interface Design Trends: guess what the future looks like.

The most recent discussion of the interface design is undoubtedly iOS7 new UI changes, but the design of iOS7 I do not comment on this first.

But I want to talk to you about the trend of interface design, guide the design trend of what is the factor?

There is an old saying: "Take history as a mirror, you can know Xing

Although the human-computer interface development time soon, but can still give us inspiration from the Western art development history.

Before the 19th century, art was a service for the aristocracy of power and religion, which preached religious belief and power.

In that period, with Baroque, Rococo as the representative of the works, luxurious gorgeous decorative features of the rich and powerful love.

No matter the religious buildings, interior decoration furniture, or the group of aristocratic women, even small to leave carved porcelain cups, these are not the embodiment of the Renaissance thought.

After 19th century, with the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution, automatic machinery began to replace the traditional hand operation.

At the same time as the understanding of mechanical language deepened, thinkers gradually realized that industrial design should serve the mass production, for the majority of people to produce useful and beautiful goods, rather than for a few wealthy privileged class to produce luxury goods.

It embodies the concept of modernization and technology, with a new perspective to think about the problem, more emphasis on pragmatic views.

Reject decorative graphics in design, instead emphasizing adherence to materials and the use of concise geometric forms to render content.

The purpose of advocating design is people, not products.

And this is the concept of the most popular so the typical representative of cognition and understanding-Bauhaus.

Although the institute has only been around for 14 years, its modern design concept has influenced the present.

After history, we will explore the future.

For the unknown future, in the literature and science fiction movies are always constantly give us new inspiration and inspiration.

Review the works of the film Master and look for and observe future visions of "the Past and future" in sci-fi movies.

In the 1902, George Mérie opened the door to a sci-fi film based on the "Lunar Journey", which was created in the context of extraterrestrial exploration in the early days of space. German director Fritz Lang 1927 launched the sci-fi film A monument to the metropolis of the city.

The film envisages: suspension city, high-speed light rail, humanoid robot, artificial intelligence computer, brain wave control, and so on, is still full of art guiding significance of the blockbuster.

With the development of visual stunt, film creation has more powerful technology to depict the future science fiction world.

During the ~1980 of the 1960, Advances in space technology inspired Hollywood's 2001 Space Odyssey, Star Wars, and other works to be published. The future world of these films, whether building or technology, or interactive information display, interface control and other elements of the design, have a qualitative leap:

In the the 1990s, with the development of life science, space science and computer technology, Hollywood began to rely heavily on computer effects synthetic imaging (CGI) technology, and once again built a more complicated future world. "Independence Day" "Black Man" "The Fifth Element" and other films, which has more powerful visual effects, as well as dramatic story scenes, sweeping the global box office. The recent "Transformers" "Robot Story" "Avatar" "Iron Man" and other sci-fi movies are undoubtedly "Now in the future," the idea.

Whether it's the code information presented in the 1927 Metropolis CRT screen, or the 2013 "Iron Man" in the three-dimensional projection of the data module, these "past future tense" and "Now in the future," the future of human-computer interaction, are the ultimate restoration of information content, but with the times of the media to behave differently.

The source of its design is still "human".

Looking back at this iOS7 change:

This time Apple changed its ios1~6 UI style, using minimalist style in iOS7. It is not the ultimate restoration of information.

For iOS7 change is not only the UI interface, in the interactive details is full of human experience.

Future mobile devices are certainly not just smart terminals such as mobile phones, and Apple's desire to broaden its market share is bound to enter other intelligent media terminals.

Imagine: What would happen if IOS6 's materialized UI was compared to the ios7ui in the terminals of other media?

From my PS effect diagram: It is difficult to integrate the rich details with the environment, while the introduction UI style is more matching.

Although this iOS7 is not perfect in the UI details, but also because everyone is always the most perfect Apple is full of too much anticipation, and this revision of the stride is bigger, also let a lot of people may not be able to accept at once.

From Microsoft's DOS operating system to Apple's graphical user interface system, from the desktop hardware input to the mobile touch screen device, the human request for information processing evolves into a process of simplifying. Back to the interface design, history as a mirror, give us the same inspiration, everything to restore the "information" itself, for "people" and design.

Perhaps the future human-computer interaction interface, the mobile phone is no longer the main body of our intelligent terminal, program entrance is not each cold icon graphics, and according to the current environment to provide appropriate information and operational applications, information is no longer static rendering, information visualization of the dynamic presentation should be the future trend. The information between each application is more easily exchanged, the device or gesture can be directly dragged to synchronize or share information. These speculations are similar to those of future video from companies such as Microsoft and Google.

Perhaps in the near future, terminal equipment will be like this to enter our life, hehe.

The above is my conjecture about the trend of the future interface design, not vices Welcome to point out.

To learn more about the history of the design, you can search the web for the BBC's Genius of the series documentary.
