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.
