As computers get smaller and more powerful, the way
product designers imagine how we may interact with them in the future has been
getting increasingly wild. Case in point, Louis Berger’s Taptop Computer.
A kind of riff on the Touch Bar included in most of
the new Macbook Pro computers, Berger’s concept features a desktop computer
shaped like an elongated pill and featuring a touchscreen display. As the
Munich-based design student imagines it, this computer would leave the main
screen completely free of the applications bar, serve as a venue for quick
actions, and even allow for the use of FaceID.
For those with lots of
applications on hand, all one needs to do to scroll to the next is to touch the
screen and flick either right or left. While this isn’t an official Apple
design, we hope that the team in Cupertino took notes when doing the research
for their upcoming Mac Pro update.
