The document summarizes a mapping session at a GigaOM RoadMap conference on next-generation user interfaces. The session included a discussion on disruption vectors in technologies, business models, and user adoption patterns. Panelists assessed the relative importance of new input methods like gesture and voice, new output methods like visual and haptic displays, and leveraging big data. While Siri failed to fully realize its vision, no single disruption vector was identified, but rather input, output, and data technologies were seen as having roughly equal impact, likely leading to multiple specialized user interfaces for different contexts and tasks.
