Adding a little bit of context: I've owned a Model X for six years now and while Tesla's touchscreen UI is probably still the best in the industry, it is so surprising how many simple fundamentals of interface design they are not

Since releasing the "demo" video of my VR desktop operating system prototype, I've been spending some time diving deep into some of the design decisions and technical challenges along the way. It's been great capturing

Thanks! The way I think about hand tracking is that it has its applications, but has to be used very thoughtfully. The mouse is approachable and gives me access to my entire field of view just by moving my wrist a bit. Hand tracking can fee

Yeah pixels per degree in common VR headsets is probably another 3x or 4x off :( No big deal, they just have to become lighter AND better :D

Yeah totally agree that this has no chance until HMDs get a lot more comfortable to wear, and better especially in the resolution department. This is not a "2D apps on virtual screens" concept though. Every app can be freely moved

That's how I imagined it too. Single finger would be reserved for getting back to a more conservative input mode.

Try tapping in the very bottom right corner with one finger. There's an invisible button that shows the fake Driving Directions UI. Then tap on that with 5 fingers at once to make the hints appear. They are just static graphics too tho

Fair points. I'm most excited about this actually: >...good ideas here that could be used in other domains. I'd love to see more touch UIs that serve as secondary input mechanism for something else. If I had a big color picker

> Not the author, but the way I see it this is specifically an interface for adjusting things eyes-free when driving. In an actual implementation, there would be some sort of physical switch between the in-drive control (demoed here) and

Interesting ideas. Maybe this is just me, but my wrists suck at twisting.

The thing is though: What if in the future, every car primarily has touch interfaces? Touch screens certainly took over a lot of other product categories by storm. I'd rather be on the side of exploring out-there concepts now, and hope

I like your audio equalizer analogy. If you look closely in the beginning of the video, you'll see that I'm proposing for this to be a special mode that would only be invoked from time to time. So as you are suggesting: It's

The beauty about touch screens as input mechanisms is that they can obviously show an infinite number of interfaces. I absolutely agree that there's a right time for the right interface. My proposal is just one possible way to use a to

I love that rant.

I think you got it right. My proposal was definitely not meant to be the end of the conversation. Much rather the beginning. I'm sure there are huge opportunities in exploring a more diverse set of input mechanisms (and their combinati

You're making a bunch of good points. All of them show that there's still a lot to try, learn and discover in this space. And keep in mind: I was thinking of this as being an additional mode to whatever the more "standard&quo
