@dan_ballard Maybe both! I was thinking button presses to activate it, followed by finger gesture for mouse control. But it might be more precise to use the touchpad thingie. I need to experiment to really see.
Explicit guidance from my boss that even though persons A and B are best and fastest at doing the task, we're going to use persons A and C and deliver it slower.
This is so that C learns and takes some of the pressure off A and B for later. Person D is queued up to for this later in the year.
We are choosing to deliver software more slowly so we can spread the knowledge out and not burn out two very good engineers. I never thought I'd work in a company like this.
