Re: Addendum : User Agent Teleconference for 10 April 2008

This is why I want to drop except because it presents a false boundary and 
instead, we need a deffinition cutoff.  I agree that my answer is not 
testable.  I'm actually not thinking that we will ever do flying with the 
keyboard but may do more complex things than we are doing now and would not 
like to limit that.

Hi Dave,

I'm just afraid that "such that its complexity would overwhelm
efficiency" isn't sufficiently testable.

BTW: For keyboard users who are blind, I wonder if the future
improvement that will make the most difference for tasks such as
painting and flying helicopters will be 2D haptic tablets, since they
have the potential to provide the rich spatial feedback that is needed
to use mouse/stylus/joystick devices.

Cheers,
Jan
