  The paradigms of human interaction with modern consumer market devices such as tablets, smartphones or video game consoles are currently undergoing rapid and serious changes. Device control by multi-finger touch gesture or voice recognition has now become standard. Even further advanced technologies such as 3D-gesture recognition are becoming routine. Smart enhancements of head-mounted display technologies are beginning to appear on the consumer market. In addition, the look-and-feel of mobile apps and classical desktop applications are becoming remarkably similar to one another. We have used Web2cToGo to investigate the consequences of the above-mentioned technologies and paradigms with respect to accelerator control applications. Web2cToGo is a framework which is being developed at DESY. It provides a common, platform-independent Web application capable of running on widely-used mobile as well as common desktop platforms. This paper reports the basic concept of the project and presents the results achieved so far and discusses the next development steps.
