Minority Report technology is garbage. That much hand waving and moving around gets tiring after about 5 minutes. In no way does that UI beat a keyboard and mouse or an xbox controller depending on context.
- ctdonath 13y agoSeems the MR technology was intended for about 5 minutes of use - a really intense short period where a hand-waving space was faster for a very specialized complex set of gestures than a generic keyboard or mouse. Not sure I can think of a faster way to juggle a set of videos looking for incriminating information, given that it must be completed within minutes - and no more than those minutes. Yes, muscle fatigue would set in fast & hard after a few minutes, but by that point the work would be moot anyway.
- skizm 13y agoOne 4k screen could show 4 1080p videos at once. I guess it is preference but keyboard and mouse if definitely the way to go I think. The goal of input devices is to minimize the amount of time and effort it takes to translate what is in your head to what is on the screen. Keyboard/mouse/controller literally only require flicking your fingers to see what you want. Custom keyboard shortcuts could be created for fast-forward and rewind. That plus alt+tab and/or multiple 4k monitors and you're probably flying through videos faster than hand waving.
