    No. The future of tech should be about getting more capabilities out of fewer (and/or less intrusive) screens. Would love to see more advances in e-ink displays and open-source, ‘ambient’ voice-controlled UIs.

        Agreed. I don’t want to use voice controls for anything but I agree with the OPs more general point of getting more capabilities out of fewer screens

        I don’t see any downside at all if it’s layered on top of some other (very capable) keyboard-driven UI that can do all the same things.

          The downside is that no existing tech company has enough self-control to actually keep these kinds of recordings private.

              Several such solutions already exist. Problem is, only folks like us mess around with it. Non-geeks, not so much.

          there doesn’t need to be a keyboard. just good hand gestures which can’t be performed by accident, and good face recognition software. if apple headset will have this, I’m gonna bankrupt.

            I got to try messing around with a Hololens a couple of years back. The hand tracking wasn’t perfect but it was pretty cool. It read my “typing in the air” gestures to set a WPA2 key very accurately (much to my surprise). The parameters of the demo I was playing around in (picking up and moving virtual packages around in a model city to control drones flying around that part of the convention center) was pretty cool.
