Wow, so touch screens go touchless. I'm guessing that we're only a few years away from mind control. I can't wait.

In the meantime, I want this.

nice.. Now i can navigate like a man. I love how tom cruise pretty much makes a boring movie with computer renditions and adds so much emotion by wiping them away with such vigour.

I wonder how it responds when you start spanking your monkey? Maybe it automatically opens porn sites for you.

I hope you can program your own gestures - middle finger for closing error messages would be nice.

you know I think that's actually the idea (well, not quite your first suggestion). You can program gestures like two hands swiping away something is minimize, pinch to zoom, reverse pinch to expand, flick of the thumb or fingers to scroll.

I'd love like scissor fingers to cut audio, or playing notes freehand. Nothing would beat air-flute to play midi though.

i have a wind controller that i never use. Even if nobody is watching. I can't get over the fact that I have a phalic shaped thing in my mouth. I also have a dean yang silver Bb flute worth a pretty penny that i was going to learn for orchestration but i could not convince myself that it was ok.

I'm not buying that resolution until I see it.

Also, how accurate would it actually be for audio work I wonder? I can see it being useful as a locator or jog/shuttle tool though.

got one on pre-order,,, :)

I'd like to see this on smart phones, and FPS games. I don't see how this could improve EDM production or performance. It'll give crappy DJs another excuse for people to come to their live "remixing" show.

My whole thing is that the mouse is pretty easy and efficient. I don't even have to raise my arm to use it. People don't want to be more active, they are lazy. This is why videogames are so popular. Why bother trying out for the football team when you can just push some buttons and move two joysticks around.
