Interactions of the Future: The Relationship Between Screenless Interfaces and User Experience Design

Abstract

Traditional screen-based interfaces are evolving into a new era due to rapid technological advancements and shifting user needs. At the core of this evolution lies Anderson's 1989 vision of computer technology becoming transparent and invisible to the user. Similarly, in the mid-1990s, Weiser laid the foundation for this transformation by arguing that the fundamentals of human-computer interaction should be reconsidered. He proposed that a “disappearing” or “invisible” form of computing offers a more natural and manageable mode of interaction between humans and machines. In the 2000s, Rosalind W. Picard contributed to this discourse by asserting that, if computers are to engage in natural interactions with humans, they must be equipped with the ability to recognize, understand, and even express emotions. She advocated for computers that not only respond to user commands but also proactively act based on the user’s emotional and physiological states. These perspectives collectively form the foundation of the concept of Screenless Interfaces. With the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the advancement of human-machine interaction, user experiences that do not require screens are gaining prominence. Screenless Interfaces engage users through alternative sensory inputs such as voice, touch, motion, and other perceptual modes. These interactions provide users with natural, responsive, and personalized experiences, opening new possibilities in the field of User Experience (UX) Design and fostering direct relationships between users and systems. The aim of this study is to define the concept of Screenless Interfaces, which has become increasingly integrated into contemporary life, and to examine their impact on User Experience Design. To this end, a literature review is conducted to analyze the recent history of Screenless Interfaces and to explore their relationship with UX. Additionally, through the analysis of films and television series, the study discusses the innovative contributions and potential interface designs that Screenless Interfaces may offer to future interaction products. By presenting its findings, the study seeks to shed light on the concept and future of Screenless Interfaces, and to articulate their connection with User Experience Design.
