Embodied cognition is definitely a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embodied_cognition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embodied_cognition And in software development, the primary bottleneck is thinking. Anything you can do to enable greater clarity of thought is going to have huge leverage. So I think this is a super promising angle. Bret's actively developing his ideas at DynamicLand: http://dynamicland.org http://dynamicland.org But clearly it will be quite some time before that tech becomes viable in the real world. Now I'm wondering if there are simpler ways to use the rest of my body to facilitate thinking. Like, I can't mount lasers and network connected cameras on the ceiling... but maybe there's some software that can use a webcam to do simple gesture recognition mapped to bash scripts or something like that.
