La première caractéristique du film est le rôle que joue la voix en général, et les interfaces vocales en particulier
"Avec l'essor désormais certain des technologies vocales comme interface, il ne s'agit pour l'instant pas encore vraiment de navigation ; la voix comme interface est d'abord celle de l'injonction ("trouve ceci", "cherche cela", "téléphone à mon dentiste"), de la convocation ("dis à Marie de me rejoindre au bureau"). Un web performatif. Au service de l'action"
Une fois tombé amoureux de sa "voix", les injonctions deviennent absentes du film et laissent s'installer un dialogue d'abord conversationnel puis sentimental
Le second point central est la place des écrans.
Mais pour le reste, la voix comme interface a effacé l'écran comme dispositif.
Troisième interface mise à l'honneur, de manière plus discrète par le film, la gestuelle, à laquelle nous sommes déjà habitués via nos wii et autres kinect et qu'utilise Théodore pour jouer sur l'écran holographique de son salon.
