I couldn’t agree more.

Former Apple UI designer thinks touchscreens are a “hokey visual facade”, calls for innovation in “tactile richness”:

claiming that Pictures Under Glass is the future of interaction is like claiming that black-and-white is the future of photography. It’s obviously a transitional technology. And the sooner we transition, the better.”

I had an out of bubble experience while I was sick this past week.  I shut myself off of any and all tech, mobile app and gossip news to focus on getting better.  I missed a lot, and at the same time I missed absolutely nothing.  Not surprising.   Everyone in any sort of cultural bubble resurfaces now and then to get a grip on reality.  I hope so at least.  I simply realized, as I gasped for air this time around, that I was submerged for a lot longer than usual.

I truly believe that nothing matters till you have enough perspective to realize that they don’t.

I’d like a setting in youtube that automatically posts all Jay Smooths videos to this blog. Can somebody make that happen? Welcome back Jay.

Lytro just opened pre-orders for the first consumer light field camera.  These “living photographs” allow you to focus a photo later by using a microlens array to capture 4D light field information about a scene.

“Regular photographs just don’t tell the whole story. If you think about all the light that enters that enters the lens of a camera, that’s much more than a photo. The light-field is all the higher-dimensional information that’s lost in a regular photo. When we record all this information, that provides us the opportunity in software after the fact.”

What happens “after the fact” is the big breakthrough: once the light-field data is captured, Lytro’s algorithms can do some impressive tricks. First and foremost is the ability to focus on any point the viewer wishes.

Below are a couple of manipulatable examples of Lytro’s images.  Click anywhere in the photo to focus.  You can find their entire gallery here. 16 GB version will go for $499, 8GB for $399.
