Massive advances in usability are usually the result of other technilogical advances (nylon stockings spring to mind for no particular reason). What major breakthroughs seem to implicate where interfaces would go next?
A gui that mimicked 3d space better would be an advance, but it may be impossible to realise in such an inherantly 2d space as a monitor (and how would you manipulate 3d objects)?
