No, I'm not going all "New Age" on you, this time I'm looking at how computers are going to get a 3rd dimension and how this will change the way we interact with them. The previous parts of this series have been based on extrapolations or previous history. This time I'm looking further forward, when technologies currently in long term development become available and open up a whole new realm of possibilities.

"Neural interfaces allowing direct interaction with computers at the level of abstract thought will replace any need for an "interface", and are likely to render a 3D environment obsolete before it can really become useful."
Interesting idea. So what protocals does the brain use? What about language? We'll most likely see 3D (no pun intended) first, although as pointed out above, we need to fix our 2D interfaces first before embarking onto 3D with it's own set of problems. Crawl before walking and all that.
