Many of us have for some time enjoyed the so-called “smart watches” from various manufacturers. Someone more like the Apple Watch, and someone is crazy about Moto 360, Gear S2 or LG Urbane. But all owners of these watches agree: it is not always the interface that fit on the tiny screen of this gadget is comfortable to use. Sometimes to get to a particular button are incredibly difficult, and gestures do not always save. Is it possible to make this interface more convenient? Yes. There is.
Video which you can watch below, was filmed in 2014, but for some unknown reasons, the manufacturers of smart watches are not paying enough attention to him. The creators of this watch prototype are employees of Carnegie Mellon, located in Pittsburgh. Of course, the prototype looks incredibly bulky and clumsy, but it illustrates how easy would a smart watch, if she had had a similar interface.
And the interface is wonderfully simple and intuitive. The user is able to tilt, rotate, or compress the display, thereby controlling various applications. The video demonstrates us the use of this method of management in a variety of applications, whether it is “Maps”, “Music”, “Camera” or the cult video game Doom. All ingenious is simple, but will someone from the manufacturers of wearable electronics to use this technology in their products? Time will tell.
