Honestly I only find touchscreen usable only with native mobile apps. Websites written in fancy frameworks always feel janky as hell. But I guess if you have to write for only one platform (this shuttle's terminal) you could make something more reliable.
I don't want to operate a car where I'm reliant on a touchscreen, I can't imagine strapping into a rocket and having to navigate some kind of unexpected situation by poking at semi-responsive menus.
Controlling a spaceship with a tablet seems terrifying. It's like the tablets in cars turned up to 11.
Granted, they still have physical buttons for important things, and a lot of the stuff they've using the tablet for probably isn't all that time sensitive, but still. Imagine being in orbit and still having to deal with some laggy Chromium UI!
Lmfao
Suddenly I feel really good about the amount of times I crashed in kerbal space program
"Captain, just a quick question... is the control language for this mission critical life support capsule using a strongly typed language? Asking for a friend."
Fuck it I'll go to the mat for this, applying web UX technologies to embedded system interfaces is the business of the most successful worker-owned cooperative in tech. Sure maybe physical controls would be better. Anyway if you have a steam deck you've used this company's work, which is cool.
