Why GUI to NUI? Why WIMP to post-WIMP? Do we have the seeds of a manifesto?!

This is a remix of one of my recent long-titled blog posts, "Why bother switching from GUI to NUI?", asked and answered by Josh Blake; my "2 cents"; Stevie B's Microsoft Research video, Marco Silva's NUI-HCI presentation, and links".   


I think we have the beginnings  of a GUI to NUI/ postWIMP manifesto here.


In Chapter 1 of Natural User Interfaces in .NET,  Josh Blake asks and answers a question posed by many people who have been under the spell of keyboard input and GUI/ WIMP interaction: 


Why bother switching from GUI to NUI?  The answer?  Read Chapter 1 (pdf) of the book - the chapter is free.


Here are a few of my personal reasons:  
1.  I want to buy the next version of the iPad or something like it.
2.  I want to buy a new large-screen Internet HD TV.
3.  I want to buy a Kinect.
4.  I do NOT want to interact with my new TV with a Sony remote.  Too many tiny buttons!


5. I do NOT want to interact with my new TV with a keyboard,  because it reminds me of...work.

6.  Most importantly: 

I want to design apps for the people I care about, and others with similar needs:
    My mom.  
    My grandson.
Moms and dads with kids in tow.
People with special needs and/or health concerns, and the people who care and guide them.
Knowledge sharers and (life-long) learners....

Post Wimp Links




Someone visited my Interactive Multimedia Technology blog after entering "Post Wimp" in a search box.  According to my StatCounter stats, here are the links that were found:

The original Google search:



www.google.de/search?q=post wimp&hl=de&client=firefox-a&hs=BAa&rls=com.frontmotion:en-US:unofficial&prmd=v&start=10&sa=N

Then linked to my post:
