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.

I can see the next generation, UI's in fact being 3D or at least pseuddo 3-D. I'm certain that alot of the hardware manufacturers would love for MS push a such an UI, it certainly would drive alot of new units out of their warehouses.
As far as Gogles v. 3D Displays v. Augmented reality go in my opinion the majority of people would not accept any out of the ordinary computer interface. VR is pretty much dead, and as far as cyber punk Augmented realit goes we (techies) might be likely to adopt them but there will be along time before they become common place.
Just some thoughts.
