As most people have pointed out, this doesn't seem like anything new. If all of those devices are IoT, you can have an app that controls them. Seems pretty pointless to have to use your camera and drag between objects. You could achieve this much easier with icons in an app. Do you personally think this a good product?

How would you connect two objects in physical space with your app centric interface? This is not a trivial task. Its very complex and has a lot of abstract steps. Steps you wold not be able to explain a 8 year old child in 5 minutes. We gave the Reality Editor in to the hands of a 8 year old child and we did not even need to explain how to do it. He just ran with it.

Try to make him do it while watching a 5 year old and an 8 year old while entering a car. It's a more realistic scenario for when you need a knob to work as expected.

That is a good scenario. What you see in the video and on open hybrid is really as much as we can put in to code at this point and I believe that it is a very good beginning.

There is so much more that we want to implement and some of it would give answers for your situation.

I think the Reality Editor will grow incremental and every version will be a bit better then the version before. In some years, when your car actually has this functionality, your scenario will be solved.

It's useful for the same reasons that a 4yo can use the touch screen on an iPad but can't use the track pad on a computer: It removes one additional step of indirection and thereby reduces cognitive load.
