Analyzing the Future of HCL: Technologies and Interface Design

This report delves into the future of HCL, focusing on the evolution of interface technologies. It examines the role of Graphical User Interfaces (GUI), Natural User Interfaces (NUI), and other emerging technologies (OUI) in shaping the future of HCL. The report discusses how these technologies will impact web design and the roles of information architects and interface designers. It emphasizes the importance of GUI in interface design, the potential of NUI, and the development of technologies like smart fabrics. The report also references key patents and research in the field, highlighting the dynamic nature of the tech industry. Overall, the assignment provides a comprehensive analysis of how HCL can leverage these advancements for future growth and competitive advantage.

Future of HCL
The world in which we are living is dynamic in nature and has become suffused with a different
type of computer technologies. Latest technologies bring continuous change in the life of human
beings. Future of the interfaces will fully cover with latest and innovative technologies such as
GUI, NUI, and OUI (Jacko, 2012). These technologies will change the whole interface system in
the existing world. GUI is known as the graphical user interface which will core way of
designing interfaces. With the help of graphical user interface, one will be able to complete
visual tasks to receive results like clicking on a link to open a new page (Williams, 2012). GUI
interface design system will be a combination of metaphors and standards that guide an
organization in the successful implementation of their web designs. This will provide options to
the organization to grow in the near future by gaining competitive advantage in existing market.
Apart of it, NUI is known as a natural user interface a recent evolution is facing by every
information technology organization (Caro, 2016). It is utilized today to a lesser degree, but in
future, it will use more because it will enhance the efficiency of the organizations towards the
standard environment. NUI focus more on doing it brings unpredictable changes in the
environment of an organization (Levine, 2014). It can be said the next generation of interfaces
will be based on VDUs to smart fabrics. It is known as a fixed video display unit which brings
different flexible technologies towards smart fabrics (Kimoto, 2014). In near future the functions
of web designers shifting more towards the job of information architects and interface designers.
This brings different technological advantages for the organizations.
