I had a TV set and a typewriter and that made me think a computer should be laid out like a typewriter with a video screen.
I'm doing the shows. The stage is my canvas; I'll put whatever up there for the visible eye.
The cathode-ray tube will replace canvas.
My first job on 2001 was to make all of the HAL readouts: the 16 screens that surround HAL's eyes.
I love IMAX when it works right.
The screen is a magic medium.
On TV you can't show landscapes. You just can't. Even a postcard is better.
All of my walls are covered with framed pictures of my friends.
Often I forget that design is really about removing things: optimizing the flow of information, the display, so there are the fewest elements possible, but still they preserve the essence of the subject.
Personally, I'm not very keen on the visualization of absolutely everything.
Light shows are sort of a meditative kind of experience, you know. It is not like a shock.
It's all about the special effects.
Google Glass is the wearable computer that responds to voice commands and displays information on a visual display.
Skaters are very much like peacocks.
Each time you present a tour, you're faced with these questions of, 'How do you want to present visual information? How do you want to take the music that we're making on stage and visualize that?'
For many years in my laboratory and other laboratories around the world, we've been studying fly behaviors in little flight simulators. You can tether a fly to a little stick. You can measure the aerodynamic forces it's creating. You can let the fly play a little video game by letting it fly around in a visual display.
I get all dressed up in fuchsia, looking like a clown, and show pretty pictures to people.
A great department store, easily reached, open at all hours, is more like a good museum of art than any of the museums we have yet established.
If we're going to build hardware, the thing we want to do is build reading goggles, so you can do hands-free reading.
My father probably - he had flashes of creativity - he used to do store windows for fruit stores that he worked in and stuff.
