#ALGORITHMS: "Smart memory seen as cure for user-interface bottlenecks"

Spansion CEO has a different perspective on next-gen user interfaces, maintaining that smart memory is needed to ensure that fast response times can be obtained when fast broadband access to cloud resources is absent.

User interfaces have evolved from keyboard and mouse to user-aware voice control, but need smarter memory to make the jump to augmented-reality displays that don't depend on cloud connectivity.

Here is what EETimes says about next-gen user interfaces: Next-generation augmented reality displays will employ smart-recognition of their users that melds context-sensitive voice-and-gesture commands with total-surrounding awareness of other people, places and things, according to John Kispert, CEO of Spansion Inc., who gave the keynote address at the Globalpress Electronics Summit 2012 last week. But smart memory will be needed to wean these advanced user-interfaces off cloud connectivity dependence, Kispert said.
