A Blue Perspective: Future of Web Interfaces Slides

Here are the slides (PDF, 69MB) for the presentation I gave at Web Directions South 2007, and updated to present at Web Directions North 2008, minus my dry wit (and stuttering, perplexed forgetfulness).

Actually, it's minus a fair bit. This presentation was chock full of video – 1.7GB worth, to be exact. So you won't get any of that. But a PDF might do you some good, so here it is (PDF, 69MB).

The presentation itself is about where I see web design heading in the next couple of years. In a nutshell: designs will become even more flexible and users will get control of the interface.

Enjoy!

Update 07/04/2008: The podcast is available for download.

    Hi Cameron, I've tried to open the .pdf but Adobe Reader 8 says that the file is damaged and can't be opened.... Now I'm even more curious about your slides :-)) Can you fix it?
    Cheers

    Hmmm ... that's weird Jochen.

    It opens fine for me in Preview *and* Acrobat 8.

    Maybe you caught the files halfway through my uploading them. Try re-downloading the file and giving it a shot. It should be 69MB.

    Your prediction for the future of websites will no doubt become true.

    "You can't make a design tht's perfect for everyone but we have learnt to adapt flexibility.".....true words.....Design should be directed toward human beings.To design is to communicate clearly by whatever means you can control or master.
    Nice presentation.

    Is there an audio or text transcript of your talk that can go with the slides?
