My impression is similar to that of capsense touch buttons. Very cool, but I'd rather have physical buttons. But I was proved wrong with touchscreens. For the longest time I thought that capacitive touch screen limitations would never be as reliable as resistive. They are sensitive to moisture and physical materials while resistive is not. But they've gotten really damned good. So, maybe... |

Nice, but what would be an application where you'd need or want a single knob to behave so differently, as opposed to having multiple dedicated knobs, or a touch screen? |

Well... a lot of times you wouldn't, but merely pick one and go. And if you ever want to change the look and feel, just update the software and go. Or it could be a user theme sort of selection, or an accessibility option to change the resolution/strength. I would imagine that would sell reasonably well as an industrial module, though good luck getting buy-in from like automotive, they'll just copy it relentlessly... ::) Like, lots of things are doing omni-wheels these days, and lots of things have used 2-5 button menu systems for a great while, usually with some up-down/left-right sense to most of the buttons, easily (intuitively) mapped onto a wheel like this. Where such a single unified interface is chosen, you could well have different detents/ranges for menu navigation vs. scroll/range adjustments vs. on/off options. Wide ranges needing precision could be multi-turn, etc. And the demonstration is great, the narration syncing perfectly with the action, well planned and rehearsed. I almost want to buy one. ;D Tim |

It's cool, but I'm feeling it lacks some kind of AI. |
