![Interview with Roel Vertegaal - AR, VR, Interfaces and Technologies
Roel Vertegaal (@roelvertegaal) is a Dutch-Canadian interaction designer, scientist, musician and entrepreneur working in the area of Human-Computer Interaction. He is a Professor at Queens Universitys School of Computing where he directs the Human Media Lab and is best known for his pioneering work on flexible and paper computers, with PaperWindows (2004), PaperPhone (2010] and PaperTab (2012). He is also known for inventing ubiquitous eye input, such as Samsungs Smart Pause technologies.
“In the near future, a computer will have any shape or form, and flexible computer displays will start appearing on any product of any form. These Organic User Interfaces will be completely embedded in real world interactions.”
In our wide-ranging conversation, we cover many things, including:
The future of computing interfactes and why it is not what you think
What is on the near-term horizon in terms of holograms
How technology transforms society and cultural norms
The big problem with conflicting interests creating filter bubbles, fake news and overly aggressive Facebook
Why AR and VR are overhyped and ultimately not the answer
The problems with voice and Alexa-like products for functionality
How communication can break down or be enhanced online
The problems Roel sees in todays world and what causes them
Roel passion for quantum computing and potential implications
The reason Roel is very worried about climate change
Why Roel believes startups and tech companies should have higher moral character
The awesome effects of flexible computers, phones and interfaces
Why the lab is always 10-15 years ahead of commercial companies
