Complex Hand-Tracking Is the Key to Better Mixed Reality Interfaces

Keyboards and mice work fine for computers, but in a holographic environment you'll want to do more than just point, click, and type. While we can still benefit from these input devices, complex hand-tracking methods are necessary for the evolution of mixed reality user interfaces. It's already feeling awfully close to the common dream of a Minorty Report-style interface. Microsoft's HoloLens only has two gestures: air tap and bloom.
