                 Future of HMI

                 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.
