Bob describes some of his ideas about the evolution of the internet and technology. "...the Internet is frustrating and not at all what I want. The fundamental differences are that I'm a sensory psychologist and right now I can only see and hear, so I'll keep waiting for the technology to evolve...the important thing is that I think the idea of using a computer will just go away and become part of us."

Visualizing the User eXperience in"Starfire" the film... "Starfire" was a look at the corporate world of 2004 from the vantage point of 1992-1994. By creating a movie, the team felt that the User eXperience of a corporate customer could be better understood by Engineering. At the time the film was developed and released there was no common knowledge of the Internet, laptop computers and widespread use of email, yet these items are forecast in the film. On November 16, 2004 (the "exact" date used in the film - 10 years earlier), Bob presented the film to Trolltech's Linux conference. It is remarkable to see how many technologies were accurately shown in the film. Thanks to the genius of Bruce "Tog" Tognazzini, the film helped pioneer the field of video prototyping. Through this new technique, your engineers and team can better understand the User eXperience that you need to develop. Bob is available
for corporate talks on your User eXperience and how it can be improved.
