"You could even control a kitchen display showing recipes or other information when your hands are busy or covered in ingredients."
and
"who need both hands free to carry out their work."
The above statements imply that one would be able to perform these tasks simultaneously. I would have thought that controlling the said display would involve some sort of effort/concentration - like moving the pointer to a button for example. Wouldn't voice activation be alot more convenient in this scenario?
Since the earliest days of home computing... the late 1970's... when a technology comes along that people don't quite know what it can be used for, somehow storing or displaying Recipies is offered up as a use.
It does sound like something with a specialized use. I dont want windows getting dragged around the screen just because I look at them. Your hands are the traditional tools for manipulating things.
