This comment speaks to a perception problem for aural methods. The state of the mainstream art doesn't seem much past Forstall's demo of 10 years ago. [0] Are generations of people accustomed to WIMP UI able to wrap their heads around a much smaller interaction set? [1]
Gentner and Nielsen's work described in "The Anti-Mac Interface" [2] speaks to some of the differences people will have to mentally bridge such as:
Mac | Anti-Mac
Direct Manipulation | Delegation
See and Point | Describe and Command
WYSIWYG | Represent Meaning
User Control | Shared Control
Feedback and Dialog | System Handles Details
Forgiveness | Model User Actions
