Aaron Marcus, The Past 100 Years of the Future, Page 67 Figure: Scene from Star Wars series, 1977-2008. One of the most memorable “interaction devices” created by George Lucasʼ teams was the light sabre, a high-technology upgrade to the classic sword. No connection of the device with other systems was ever portrayed. It was a “stand-alone” device. (Acknowledgement: TBD) 67
Aaron Marcus, The Past 100 Years of the Future, Page 68 Tron, 1982, directed by Steven Listberger, and Tron Legacy, 2010, directed by Joseph Kosinski. Tron, 1982, written and directed by StevenLisberger, presented a notable inovation of sci-fi cinema by trying to represent the world of games and coding within game machines. Development of the movie began in 1976, originally as an animated movie. The film was a box-office success and was praised by critics for its visuals and acting, but not its story line. What is notable from the HCI pespective is that the movie shows almost no advanced HCI equipment or action sequences. It is a motorcycle race action movie disguised as a sci-fi movie. The sequel in 2010, Tron Legacy, updates the action but continues the lack of HCI content. It is not surprising that the only major HCI scenes show “ancient” eclectronic game device displays and somethinglike a Unix text code display.
