Now this looks like it has some potential to me..

Interesting. I have a problem with the flexible funding approach though. As far as I can see they didn't explain what they will do if they don't raise the funds aiming for.

Hope it will succeed but I will not fund the project because of forementioned reason. I will certainly want something like this if there is a consumer version and works with Linux/Python.

There was another product almost identical to this that didn't require a thimble. I can't remember its name now though.

A quick Google search reminded me - Leap Motion. https://www.leapmotion.com/

I don't want minority report or an advance kinect. I just want to relax and sit down in front of my pc or tv.

Too much work to flail all over the place to do simple computing tasks..

Yeah.

Someone could develop some decent motion capturing glove (including force feed back, preferably) instead.

The video looked laggy to me, in some points being faster on the video side, which tells me its prerendered. Also the smoothing was horribad.

I dont understand what this is useful for, other than it doesnt work for CS, and has the monkeys arm problem. Other airmouse things exist already, for mediacenters they arent bad.
