Touchscreens are just evil in any sort of physically involved environment, e.g. a car or even a kitchen stove. You can have ‘good-looking and functional’ (with physical controls too), but touchscreens in such a setup are rather ‘good-looking and dysfunctional’.
Game controllers are the perfect example of ergonomically-tuned physical controls with sleek looks. And afaik the US military uses Xbox controllers in drone control or something like that.

- romwell 6y agoI hope one day we'll have shape-changing touchscreens which can grow physical buttons that can be pressed, and that could be operated without looking. Something like a braille-capable touchscreen would already be a great improvement (concept art: [1][2]) This is technically 2.5D, and 3D would be even better (imagine a screen which can grow a joystick!). While 3D-shape-shifting screens don't seem to exist even in SciFi, 2.5D displays are already being worked on, and would be a huge step up.
