                     FUTURE OF HUMAN-MACHINE INTERACTION

                     In future, the user interface is going to achieve a new level with the integration of AI. The keyboard and
                     mouse will be replaced by smart gloves that will be able to recognise gestures and act accordingly. For
                     example, instead of selecting series of menus, user wearing a smart glove which will have an integrated
                     camera system, will just make small gestures in a closed environment and the menu would appear.
