Looks unreal - but isn't this similar to http://leapmotion.com or?
Leap has a higher resolution, but a smaller range apparently. Leap's video shows a person using two hands close together and not apart like 3Gear's system.

The parts used to build this total $330 vs. the $70 for the LEAP and it seems that this is less accurate and responsive. I'd get behind this if it was purely an open source effort to bring this to people who can't get their hands on a LEAP. It's just so much more expensive, it's only free to use during the "public beta" period. I'm honestly a bit confused at how they expect to compete with the LEAP. I can't see anyth…
Like that there's nothing on my desk --you should see the area under my monitor, it's like a junky drawer-- but kinects mounted on my monitors wouldn't be my first choice either, but if you were to add some object recognition and 3D scanning features I might change my mind.
Pick up the brush -> starts photoshop. Pick up my camera -> start photo import tools. Pick up my Project A folder (marked with a sticker, think evernote) -> opens all relevant files for project A, etc etc.
Is anyone developing a wristband/glove gyro-thingamajig yet? Seems so much simpler to me. Bluetooth, a gyro, and you're halfway. No issues with "range" etc.

Too funny. The link doesn't work until you remove the suite.

It's indeed similar, but we think there are three important differences. Because our cameras are top mounted, our system is more comfortable / ergonomic. You don't have to lift your hands very high to interact, and your arms are always supported comfortably by the desk. We can enable convenient interactions right above the keyboard or even turn the desk itself into a touchscreen. Basically, our system is designed to…

I know from certain sources that the next Kinect version is going to be at least as accurate as the Leap and probably moreso. Curious if your project will adapt to providing a Mac/Linux compatible API layer for the new hardware.
