What we have described enables a type of "non-interactive computing" - the ability to interact with a computer merely by moving around a space; all input and output devices are more or less hidden. New technologies of this type do not make existing theories obsolete. On the contrary, some cognitive and collaborative approaches become increasingly important, though their focus shifts from human-computer interactions to humanhuman and human-environment interactions.
