Future of Coding

A new article by Vi Hart about their experiments programming with mixed physical/virtual objects: <https://theartofresearch.org/combination-physical-and-virtual-tools-for-spatial-computation/>

I like their experiments on how a programmer can program things with her body and with the real world. It is a kind to reengage real stuff and real feeling to produce programming artifacts : you assemble the turtles to create a program, you use your AR artifact to point a real object, you wave your hand to define the shark movement, etc.

I like how they combine objects to give a new meaning, like putting the turtle for the rotate instruction on a quarter (the coin) to specify to rotate at 90° (a quarter of a turn).
