I'm sadly bearish on this kind of stuff. The Mac touch-panel showed that even a context-aware, reactive and fully integrated input struggled to break the flow gained by keyboard+mouse.
Even today some people are still on the fence about the new fangled mouse!
- two_handfuls 3y agoThe Mac touch bar sucked, that why it didn’t gain traction.
- moritonal 3y agoLikely valid, but can you say why it sucked? And why any other input wouldn't struggle with the same faults?
- two_handfuls 3y agoIt sucked for the following reasons: - too easy to accidentally touch while reaching top-row keys. - cannot be used by feel. - replaces existing keys, removing functionality. - turns off sometimes, so we have to tap once to wake it first. - some common actions used to be 1 key, are now two taps (volume, brightness). - does not always register my taps. No unambiguous indication that the tap was recognized.
