If I may make a suggestion: TV screens get bigger and bigger, with higher and higher resolution. Why not use a touch screen 2x1metre directly as a desk, with, say 8000x4000 pixel resolution, i.e. the same pixel size as my current screen. No more clutter from keyboard or mouse, pencils, printers or any such old-fashioned rubbish . . . It should be good for some decent exercise (rubbernecking, arm stretching) and for the rest we use the Ubuntu phone - plenty of connectivity and storage.

The Anti-Gorilla-Arm-Telescope (similar to the selfie telescope/extension arm) - allows you to touch far-away touchscreens without hurting yourself. Perhaps with springs and a counterweight to exactly balance the weight of your arm? So it can “float” freely in space as you move it about?
Still can’t see it working, though: the kind of UI elements best suited to imprecise selection with a fat finger that in itself obscures your vision would still be different from the kind you can select with the greater precision of a mouse. _______________________________________________ wlug mailing list | wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Unsubscribe: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug
