US Navy will replace touchscreen with mechanical controls on its destroyers
Wait. Let me get this straight.<p>Touchscreens, which are ideal for representing multiple user unterfaces in an intuitive way, but requiring constant visual contact are being replaced by a physical user interface that can be used by both touch, and memory?<p>Why was touchscreen ever even a consideration for controls you're not looking at?<p>Touchscreen is great for phones. It is awful for keyboards (see macbook pro). And if is even more awful for controls. Has nobody researched this before spending a few hundred million dollars?
