Sensors are taking over the UX with computers, phones and IoT, let’s try to get creative. We are already seeing new ways to interact to control computers, like Leap Motion or VR Headsets. And moreover, these are all still buttons!

There are lots of keyboards and mouses out there with custom buttons to which we can apply some shortcuts, but this doesn’t make a new device, it’s just an improved keyboard or mouse.

I saw some devices a few years back like this big button that would plug into the computer and be able to put the computer to sleep in one push… after having to download and install a software program!! If we don’t see them around anymore I may not have been the only one who never found a use for it. But what if you could create your own USB device that could perform all the functions of a keyboard and more? They have been around for decades and they still are pretty much the same.
