Swiping a computer screen from afar

As WWDC approaches, I think about computing experiences I’d like to see. Which leads me to this…

I’m tired of having to use a mouse or trackpad all the time.

I’d love to see the next version of macOS introduce some basic gestural controls that can be used when a camera is present. I’m talking easy stuff like scrolling, zooming, navigation… I’m sure they can throw on some visionOS gestures to boot. 

It feels like it could be a fun, easy thing do to. And sometimes that’s enough.

I dunno.

How fun would it be to sit on your couch and swipe through photos? Heck, maybe rate them or delete duds!

Couple more points:

  1. My friend Erik punched up the audio, added a soundtrack and captions. I think it really helps
  2. I posted this video on the social medias and wow, folks have opinions about why this is a terrible idea or think it could be solid. But the terrible seems to stick more in my craw.
