The Iphone and the Google android interface are leading the charge for the direct manipulation interface ….. This will be huge in the fact that it is just the start of the direct manipulation movement (I think) on a grand scale … changing the way people interact with their technology (directly from the screen - its not a new technology but seem to be approaching the tipping point quick !)…. namely by using natural input and direct manipulation (their fingers to do natural thing on the screen) which we show with Edusim. Having these huge companies pushing the direct manipulation movement will undoubtedly work its way into almost everything in time …. and in time making things like our Edusim with direct manipulation and natural input our a virtual environment in the classroom very compelling… None the less many things are merging together to form almost a perfect storm in the coming years for the direct manipulation and natural input movement… It should be exciting to watch !
