Yes. Unless someone were to hack it and open the source to modding as they saw fit. But then we're basically just seeing this as a new medium of controlling and functioning (I think?)

I recently got a device called an Ableton Push by a German music software (and now hardware) company. The vanilla device is... Cool. But, they also incorporate the freedom of modding and re-writing the code of the software to create whatever you see fit. It has been out for a year and now up conceived ramifications for the device are popping up all over the world. The practicality of a device that was built to last for years to come, updated by the outsourcing of expanding from version one to every single customer, has not yet seemed to enter the consumer level of our economy in the U.S.A.

Now you recently pointed out that I made a lengthy 1300 word reply to something of yours, sort of defeating the purpose of this environment, so I'll cut it off haha. But, I believe there could be use for a HUD display like this...but it will either need years more of this one company testing and re-releasing new versions, or if it were open to more people being the architects responsible for growing it into our daily lives it would evolve much faster and, I believe, in a more practical sense. I believe there could easily be individuals who, upon looking at this, would immediately see the potential conditional to how they would incorporate it to their own lifestyle.
