OCGM: George's Razor : " If Ron George can explain how OCGM encompasses Affordances and Feedback than I'll be convinced that OCGM works for NUI. The concept of OCGM might be growing on him now. Richard Monson-Haefels response to Ron George's "Part 2". Each discipline brings to the table a set of terms rooted in theory, and even research practices. With convergence, the creation of new technologies, applications, communication systems, and even electronic entertainment, is now dependent upon the work and thinking of people from a wider range of disciplines. Why? The technology to support the required wizardry is more complex. Underneath the surface, where designers and developers brains spend more time than users & consumers, things might be more complex. My feeling is that on the surface, this will hold true, especially for consumers/users and people creating light-weight applications and software widgets. The premise is that NUI metaphors will be less complex than GUI (WIMP) metaphors. It fleshes out post-WIMP concepts, addressing metaphors & interfaces. Josh Blake, author of the blog "Deconstructing the NUI", posted Metaphors and OCGM this morning. I came up with the name of this semi-fictional club as a way to organize my thoughts (and blog posts) regarding the development of a new metaphor for post-WIMP applications and technologies, related specifically to natural user interfaces, natural user interaction design, and off-the-desktop user experience.
