What is the future of interactive Media?

My simple term for Interactive Media?

Interactive Media allow us designers to THINK for it's users and THINK of what can we do to improve on our daily life and experiences with New media we have. Technology.

Interactive Media have no limits! Be it the previous posts I'd posted on touch screen which was the revolution of technology, or some interactive daily design(object), which does not make use of any Media. THEY ALL COME HAND IN HAND.
How do they come hand in hand?
Both are trying to bring experiences to another level. This what brings them together.

What I feel is that these interactive design are the first layer to implement on experiences, then they bring in Media... to FURTHER ENHANCE the experiences. Since now we're living in 21st century, everything have to be media base. (Sometimes I got sick and tired of it, I feel like going back to basic. Living simple. Really.)

Don't you think it's tiring to be always on a rat race? Catching up with the newest gadgets in town, the latest trends, fashion...

Media media media media... New media have been taking over our life. Half of our time we're busy catching up with the media but we fail to realize that, or maybe that's what we want...
Thus, the more we get from Interactive Media, the higher expectation for the next...

Example in my daily life:

Miss A: I really love the Transformers movie I watched last week!
Miss V: I thought Iron man was better! (Since it came out first.. before the movie Transformer! Thus, I'll feel Iron man was better than Transformer. And expected more from Transformer.)

This is a psychology on human.

Not that I want to use Movie as an example... but it's a good example for Media. People expect more and if one don't meet the requirement, then, it mean nothing to them. And things SPREADS FAST IN new media.

People too pick up things quickly.


This video shows an architect name Gary Chang, one day he decided to design a 344 sq. ft. apartment to be able to change into 24 different designs, all by just sliding panels and walls. He calls this the "Domestic Transformer"!!!


Look at how he slides through the walls and find himself into the kitchen, bath tub... etc

Just like Gary Chang's concept of his mini apartment, the future of interactive Media is THAT FLEXIBLE... There are no limits, nothing is impossible in the future of interactive Media.

Such Auto LED will be frequently use in household instead of malls, public places...
