It's fun for thirty seconds, after which it is just tedious. If you actually want to "get stuff done", like building a toy city, you will want the menu that shows you what's actually available.

Because that's obviously a bad interface as well. It's not like scribbly interfaces are the next step of evolution in human-computer-interaction. They're gimmicks. You're not going to go to Amazon.com and start scribbling something you want to buy. You'll type it in.
- mav3rick 8y agoNo one said this is the "future" of all interfaces. It was a demo and it may have a niche. You're extrapolating all on yourself.
- KeepFlying 8y agoOverall I agree with you. And I'm pretty disappointed with this experiment page. The previous ones were better for sure. But to your Amazon example, doodles might be the new best way to find "that thing with the stick out the top and the bell looking thing at the bottom. I forget what it's called" I'm glad Google is playing around with this. This one though just feels flat compared to the others.
