 However datasets continue to grow across fields of research and practice, already surpassing the practical limits of end-user programming tools such as Excel in some fields.  Biology is a notable example, which has spawned the new field of bioinformatics to cope with the influx of data.
-As datasets continue to grow in size and complexity across fields, there will be opportunities for developing hybrid systems which take advantage of new modes of embodied HCI, but applied to higher order interactions.  Formal linguistic abstractions which allow users to understand and process large datasets can be integrated with visuospatial manipulations, allowing knowledge and processes to be grounded in bodily interactions.

 The fundamental scientific problem to solve in order to implement the technology and get the benefits by then is in how to map the abstractions of formal language to embodied interactions.  Steps towards this goal is already well developed in object oriented and visual programming, but needs to be extended and applied using new interfaces embedded into the environment.
