>Or, it could be the glass between the control room and the "band".

Oh, fuck that. "That which I look at" and "that which I touch" are in different planes. Always have been, always will be. Ergonomics is not a minor issue - "that which can be done easily" is far more likely to be a part of any person's workflow than "that which can be done."

All these whizz-bang touchscreens are being driven by ad flacks who watched Minority Report and realized they could sell that. In Hollywood, you can put interfaces like that in after you shoot which allows you to skip the 24-frame playback. Don't for a minute think that they're at all useable.
