reminder that SpaceX's crewed capsule uses giant touch screens for controls, with manual buttons for a few things to be used in emergencies.



because those screens won't be hard to use while the craft is vibrating during takeoff/reentry while wearing a spacesuit, no sir. nevermind somebody accidentally brushing up against the panel while in zero-g.

lol at the different color temperature on every monitor.

just out of curiosity, is the front of an lcd panel strong enough to hold the liquid crystal in if the cabin is vented? i wonder how much pressure differential it can stand.

although, it looks like there's another layer on top of the lcd itself, so maybe it's sealed in there with a permanent pressure in front of the panel. but wouldnt that give a big parallax error if you weren't sitting directly in front of the panel when you wanted to change something with a big gloved finger?

i dunno im not a suit ux guy or anything, so maybe theres some cleverness about this implementation that im not seeing :thunk:
