Previous: Introduction
As computers have become more advanced, more people use them. As technology
became cheaper and more useful, many people began to use computers with
little to no outside experience with them. Few users know exactly how the
interface functions, but they understand how to use it. One of the components
that made computers easier to understand was the mouse. Imagine using your
computer without the use of the mouse. It led to more complex graphical
environments, allowing the use of different windows opened simultaneously.
The mouse converted the interface from a one-dimensional text-base to a
two-dimensional, slightly graphical, rectangular window-base as computers gained
such capabilities. The purpose of the project is to allow the interface to
become three dimensional through the use of a graphically animated hand. This
third dimension will allow for infinitely more capabilities of the personal
computer.
