Past and Present Futures of User Interface Design

I know that most developers prefer keyboard shortcuts when developing software but I prefer using the mouse mostly because I cannot remember all of the shortcuts in a range of different environments.

Given my preference it would be interesting to explore a more tactile interface.

  - a series of physical knobs to skip back and forward by function, variable reference, etc
  - a separate touch screen with haptic feedback for common functions and jump to predefined functions in my code
  - a macro-pad with real buttons to do the above

Other thoughts

When watching videos physical buttons and knobs would be good. I know professional video and audio engineers already use these technologies but i've never tried them myself.

Pretty superficial.

And no mention of the much-hyped "Minority Report" UI that failed spectacularly for obvious reasons.
