    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 scre…

    1/5 Apparently I don't know anything about my friends. Cool info graphic in the end though! http://youmewe.it/result.html?M0=10&O1=10&M2=6&M3=9&M4=16&M5...

    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 …

    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 f…

    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 …
