Great new work from on augmenting chat interfaces: a9.io/glue-comic/

This is fascinating, thank you! Consistent, too, with my experience that game designers tend to be the most interesting source of HCI research. :)

Enlightening! Made me question the top-down, flat surface. Suddenly thought- normal human thing is /present & future in front of us, past behind. Imagined a chat like a journey in front, where you could dble back and take a different turn. Or each message like a paving stone.
