This is quite good.
However:

   - The interface requires fairly precise mouse movements from the user.
   Slips are costly to correct, require large mouse movements.
   - In the Autopilot example clicks are not eliminated, but replaced
   with additional and precise mouse movement - no gain in time or simplicity.
   - The real problem arises when user needs to move cursor across the
   "reactive" areas to interact with nonadjacent parts of the interface, as in
   the recorded examples table (The 'Autopilot' reactive area).
   - The fluid interface is somewhat disorienting in spite of thoughtful
   addition of animated transitions.
