Makes me wonder how many other interfaces are horribly wrong because everyone has just accepted them. I didn't really think there would be many ways to interact with a smartwatch besides touchscreen and side buttons. And then someone played DOOM on one better than I could do it on my Android phone. Reminds me of how I felt when I first saw pinch to zoom on a capacitive touch screen and realized that it was so natural.

I think one area where people are always doing experiments like this is Android soft keyboards. I've seen so many wacky ways to input text, and some actually work pretty well.

Also today MSFT announced that keyboard research project with gestures, good day for alternative interfaces.
