The moving physical objects makes sense, touch makes sense. Learning a series of gestures to manipulate data on a screen makes less sense to me than a mouse.
The mouse is movement and control, the gestures need you to hold your hands in strange positions and move within a field of view (what the camera can see). An improved design will need to be intuitive.
- jules 16y agoWhat would make sense I think it just using your hands on the table instead of using a mouse. Touchpads do some of this but they don't work very well and the surface is usually very small.
- Scriptor 16y agoThe brain is able to make itself think that external tools are mere extensions of the body, so it's no surprise that the mouse has been successful. I wonder if the lack of any tactile response in these interfaces hinders them somewhat or if it's all the same for the brain.
