A good user interface is obvious. This one isn’t.

Maybe with a lot of training and practice someone using this can become extremely productive, but I don’t buy it.

The reason I don’t is:

1. The need for zooming is often minimal. A mousewheel, as stated above, can do a better job.

2. Switching from application to application should not often be required and if it is, something is wrong in a workflow and the investment should be to correct the workflow, not the user interface. Productivity does not stem from “human speed” but from workflow efficiency in most cases.

3. The demo in the video is “idealistic”. In the real world data entry and typing are important.

Maybe this would out great in some environment where you don’t want loose equipment around or gravity won’t cooperate with a mouse (space?) … but hand gestures require a lot of training to get mainstream.

I found it interesting and would have to spend some hands on time to pass judgment.

It’s also not surprising that most of the comments come from nay-saying dweebs who are incapable of coming up with an original idea of their own.
