A presentation I saw on the development of this (or perhaps it was
just similar) technology conceded that increased user fatigue was a
genuine disadvantage.

Also, the technology has difficulty understanding subtle, but
important, differences in user input -- the difference between a
single and double click for example.

I can't help but wonder if advancements in the today's touch screens
will closely rival this technology in the not too distant future.
