US Navy will replace touchscreen with mechanical controls on its destroyers
Wait. Let me get this straight.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?Why was touchscreen ever even a consideration for controls you're not looking at?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?
