John Underkoffler: the future of UI 

John Underkoffler worked at Tangible Media Group from MIT Media Lab. Here is a very romantic brief about him from http://tangible.media.mit.edu.

“John Steven Underkoffler was born in Pennsylvania under a large tree. He spent half his life reading Goethe under that tree, and the other half under a different tree, building dams. He shimmers sometimes in the moonlight and when he goes home late at night, he illuminates his roomates, and the rooms around them. He is also very eloquent and witty. ”
