That shows a misunderstanding of how architecture, transport system design, and computer chips are built. The important elements are calculated. TThey're not created with an airy wave of the hand and some vague hopes. Transport flows, airliner wings, electronic circuits, and more are literally engineered with differential equations. Voice + gesture is not an effective way to work with them. A more plausible benefit would be visibility of more parts of the system at the same time. This could be especially useful for software. Multiple wall-sized zoomable displays of all the elements in a big project would be much easier to work with than our current small screens, which provide tiny windows into a very much larger space.

> The important elements are calculated. TThey're not created with an airy wave of the hand and some vague hopes. Why not? AI (DALL-E) can now build images that were once painstakingly created by graphic designers selecting from stock photography and creating layer masks. Now they can use language as a starting point and then adjust the details. What if you and a group could start with a concept: "a hotel shaped like a pyramid," and then AI does those calculations and prompts you for more specifications? We're on the verge of automating those kinds of tasks, and a collaborative environment only enriches the possibilities.
