Am I the only one who can't stand the website? There is nothing more than a brief paragraph about what the product does. It doesn't tell you what programs it works with, what platforms it works on, or numerous other details I'd like to know. PLEASE give me some information about what it is exactly I'm trying to download. I'm at work and it tells me it's not available on my operating system because it's on Windows. Bu…

You're right - our website not the greatest thing in the world. We are working it too... please be patient as we're still a small team.

Yes, it works on Mac and Windows version will come soon!

Looks like this uses anywhere from 4-20% CPU while running on my 3.4 GHz quad-core i7 iMac. Have you thought about laptop battery life/power bill/world pollution implications?

Great question. As you correctly noticed, we use about 3-30% CPU and 30% only when gesture occurs, so on average it uses about 5% CPU - less than your average browser. Hence, our implications should not be any diff. Thanks for point it out, we will certainly keep an eye on it.

By Popular Demand, We have added support for VLC and Quicktime. Next on the deck Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, and YouTube. New gestures coming soon as well!

Looking forward to the new gestures and voice control. It's really fun to use!

Thank You!
