If we were speculating what UIs will look like in the future and came up with something good, why wouldn't we just do them right now? As soon as you do it's inherently no longer "the future."

UI isn’t just a theme. I can imagine a lot of different UI paradigms that either aren’t possible today or just aren’t practically feasible given development constraints.

examples?

I'm building my personal website[1] also inspired by FUI design systems. I don't think usability is an issue at all, at least with the design approach I've taken. They're just React components which you could easily feed real data. The visualizations and animations are more difficult to replicate. [1] https://x7ci.engineer/

What would be the right tool for an entertaining highly interactive and animated (game-like, but still mostly text based) thing then? Used to be Java applets and Flash. Now is "webapps" and WebGL.

Or is that it should have been handrolled using CSS animations and framework-less JS?

Or is it more that we're acting like it's 1995 and the web is for reading text documents only, and anything other than that is nerd blasphemy? (Not saying you're saying this, but it is something some still press; they hate the web stack being used in other ways).

Very impressive, and works well on mobile (iOS). Congrats and thanks for sharing.

Futuristic UIs peaked decades ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xfTryfN050 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exz1KzuthrQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC3k0d4u5BQ I really wish we had more interesting and functional examples nowadays - the web is bloated anyway, why not make more elaborate use of that bloat? Here's another example, albeit just a singular art project: https://virtualself.co/ Still, it requires tas…

His website is also very interesting: https://porterrobinson.com/

Minority Report and iron man I are the classic examples, IMO. Interactive holograms, 3D immersion, etc. can’t wait for this era!! Coming soon, it seems (with the “giant heavy headset” caveat)
