Google’s vice president of design, Matias Duarte, recently sat down with Beautiful Pixels and talked about what he thinks of the current state of mobile computing and what he sees happening in the future.
Duarte told Beautiful Pixels he’s happy mobile experiences are “no longer second class computing citizens” and said the “aesthetic sophistication we’ve seen also across software design in general is also really inspiring.”
But not everything about the current state of mobile computing makes Duarte happy.
“I’m really antsy and frustrated waiting for the future,” he said, adding that he feels mobile computing has plateaued in terms of innovation. “I can’t wait for the messiness and awesomeness of the next paradigm shift.”
Duarte also said he believes mobile and desktop computing have begun to merge, citing the fact that Microsoft makes tablets that run Windows and Apple makes iPads that can be used with keyboards as evidence. But what form that “mobile/tablet/laptop/desktop convergence thing” will eventually take is unknown, he added.
“We know it’s going to happen. We know most of its attributes, but we don’t have consensus yet on the exact right solution,” he said.
Duarte had kind words for his competitors, as well, when he talked about the state of mobile design across platforms.
“I’m impressed and excited that we are in a world where so much great digital design is happening — and not just in terms of the platforms, but also the apps and web pages on those platforms,” he said.
