10/GUI — an Interface For Multi-Touch Input
Naznarreb writes "R. Clayton Miller has an extremely impressive GUI concept he's calling 10/GUI (video; written description here). Essentially, it combines the high-bandwidth input possibilities of multi-touch interfaces with the ease and immediacy of a mouse. The video is quite interesting, and, for me at least, pretty jaw dropping. This is a dramatic re-imagining of the current mouse/screen schema, one that I think has significant potential."

Your post advocates a
(x) technical ( ) legislative ( ) market-based ( ) vigilante
approach to increasing the interaction between man and machine. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws which used to vary from state to state before a bad federal law was passed.)
(x) Users will not put up with it
(x) Poor ergonomics
( ) No one will build drivers for your device unless they own the patent
( ) We already tried new interaction paradigms with Dvorak
( ) The police will not put up with it
(x) Cut and paste doesn't work the way users expect
(x) Lack of tactile feedback
Specifically, your plan fails to account for
(x) Elbows resting on mouse surface while typing on the keyboard
(x) Handicapped or paralyzed users
(x) Sticky fluids on the device
( ) Asshats
(x) Susceptibility to data entry errors caused by cats
(x) Microsoft
(x) Extensor fatigue in fingers
(x) Won't work with VT100
(x) There is no add-on for World of Warcraft
and the following philosophical objections may also apply:
(x) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever
been shown practical
( ) I won't accept anything less than a GitS cyberbrain
( ) The name of the device sucks
( ) Not everyone wants to learn how to play the piano
(x) Tablet devices have already failed in the marketplace
( ) Killing them that way is not slow and painful enough
Furthermore, this is what I think about you:
(x) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work.
( ) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it.
( ) Nice try, assh0le! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your
house down!
