Sun actually modelled this using a large `desktop' metaphor (imagine
a desk with a back about a metre high, and papers that could be moved
by grabbing them and moving them, and comands by waving at the
`desktop'), and filmed the interactions (there was a short film
produced on `user interfaces of the future'). The actors complained
that they got sore arms from all the waving necessary.
