“This is wild!” I exclaimed while I felt every single pinch-to-click gesture on a computer thanks to the Afference ring. Checking this out in a hotel hallway while at CES 2025, it became abundantly clear that I am indeed seeing the missing link in spatial computing.
As you may recall, I do believe this new frontier of computing is the future, but it needs a lot more time in the oven. Beyond the things I mentioned, one key element needed is tactility. The personal relationship you build with a laptop through its keyboard and touchpad is something that pinch gestures without physical feedback cannot replicate.
