What new possibility does this bring to the table? Connected devices concept has been around like forever. Sure it looks cool (like flying cars, or those impractical UIs from minority report) but how does this make things more convenient? I just was put off by how this guy makes it sound like he came up with all these concepts. "Imagine you could ... " ==> all the things he mentioned with this phrase are nothing new. The only thing that's novel in the video is the UI and I was pointing out how he talks as if it's his new UI that makes all these imaginations possible, but in fact in my opinion it's actually worse than existing solutions (just looks cooler).

- thetmkay 11y agoThe UI is the pitch - technology people can't use is useless to people (tautology). It's a commercial-like video to attract attention - but fair enough if it doesn't impress you. It's hard for me to judge UI without using it myself. It's cool that they're at least trying to solve the problem of a better UI because I believe that's a problem that exists. It reminds me of one of Brett Victor's talks.
