#2Great notes and I really liked his idea of large persistent info spaces and sharing those with others.

#3> Given how ambitious the hardware package is, the software paradigm is surprisingly conservative.
I actually see this as a bit less surprising. After all, if you change the hardware in a big way, and you change the software in a big way, users will have a harder time adjusting to the new platform. Instead, they're making a big leap on the hardware side, keeping legacy apps and concepts, and then will presumably iterate to more 'native' experiences that were previously impossible/unimaginable/unintuitive.

Text is still a large part of the interfaces we use.
We are all highly trained to read text, it seems basic but it is in practice quite abstract.
Text is still best read on a flat surface.
The great innovation I can see with this new Apple device is eye tracking, they have not invented it, but they might have perfected it enough to be useable.
Eyes could be better than a mouse.

That was repeated a bunch of time during the keynote: "familiar"

Good thing my browser settings are to show scrollbars all the time!

Yeah, if their eye tracking plus foveated rendering works as advertised, it could be a huge step forward. I'm really curious how responsive the gesture controls will be too, it was really cool seeing the finger pinches(?) being used as an input method. I wonder if it's specifically designed just for that thing or if it's all built out to track any arbitrary hand gesture accurately. And I wonder what the language/api for describing hand gestures would even look like.

Firefox reader mode works well here.
