Meta: If I had to rank software features of an NLE when I was employed as an editor, key-to-photon (or click-to-sample, etc) latency would rank #1, far outpacing all other concerns. It's fundamental to the rhythm feel of the result, and prevents fatigue.
Avid bent over backwards to optimize for that in their software. I can't imagine cloud/remote editing being a good artist tool.
I really have to hand it to these companies for making these sensors. They're thin margin, not a sectorial revenue driver, but still fundamental to the industry in a "who else is going to do it?" sort of way.
Every once in a while an exec will see the first part of the sentence above as a cost optimization opportunity and will set this industry back by years. This is what happened to most Kinects and previous Realsense cameras. And yet they keep coming back, precisely because they are terrible standalone businesses.
This makes me wonder if in spite of all these years of education by play, Elementary Piagetian* education is still overlooking mental methods of arithmetic that musicians use. Musicians have an easy time understanding structure - and also knowing how to learn by repetition (to tell a student to repeat something is often a task in itself)!
The proprioception on the index finger while bending on guitar is worse for me than locking the ring finger and using the wrist to control the magnitude of the bend. Useless backfill-ass finger.
