In current days, User Interface ( UI )is getting much more gorgeous, easy to use and sophisticated to build, let it be in any thing, mobile, laptop, MP3 players etc. I came across dontclick.it, and it was quite amazing and funny to use. Don’t click it, is a new idea from the Institute of Interactive Research.
The thumb rule is “You should not click you mouse button anywhere!!”. Sounds wired? Yeah, the research lab had built a UI and they are testing on it. You make just mouse moves on the navigational items like menu, buttons, and rest of the thing , the application will take care of it.
You just try it out and you feel that it’s very easy to navigate, though you find it a bit difficult in the beginning. But making such a UI will never going to increase the usability of the application by the user. Rather it would complicate it.
I was just playing around it for quite sometime. Though it is a relief for your fingers , I feel that it will never going help us around anyway.
Drawbacks
- When you move the mouse unnecessarily around all the navigational buttons, wired thing happens.
- It doesn’t provide a robust “confirmation” popup to ask the user weather the user wants to do the “click” sorry the “move”.
- The future would be of monitors with touch screen, and with these kind of idea will go obsolete. Check out the Microsoft’s Surface Technology here.

That’s a great UI feature. As you said, even I guess there is very less chance for this to be ubiqutious usage.
