So wait, does this thing have a knob that actually turns, or is it just capsense / infrared camera? It says: “sensors: 360° angular positioning, capacitive touch, infrared based hand gesture recognition, luminosity”. How does the angle sensor work and what’s it for? It looked to me like to spin the knob part there wasn’t actually anything physically moving, but it’s hard to tell from their video.
Anyway, I’ll wait to see one of these until offering a judgment, but I’d be most concerned about latency, gesture sensing accuracy, and ease of configuraiton.
Always glad to see more people building HCI hardware experiments regardless.
I’d love to see someone do a review vs. really nice existing knobs.
