Transforming the virtual into the physical.

A topic that has stood out to me is how interactive mediums transform the virtual into the physical. I have noticed this the most in touch. Touch screen technologies will, before we know it, change how and what we design. I feel that design will turn back to tradition through innovation; processes are becoming more and more interactive, the idea of touch is a callback to the days of pen and paper, the hand made. It is leading us to create as and for humans, not devices. We are also facing the obsolescence of the desktop leading to a greater level of collaboration, we can now create anywhere again and with anyone. The future will bring screens that can create textures and I can only imagine what that can do for accessibility. Such technology empowers both the designer and viewer, is reshaping how we craft narratives, and the very way we create.
