#2This is actually really cool. Gesture control outside the bounds of a video based recognition system is the next level imho.
How would this compare to Leap (https://www.leapmotion.com/) in terms of precision?
Also the introduction video nicely showcases the possibilities.

#3Ok, this is what I think we will see a lot of. No talking, no vision, no touching, just some simple gestures.
Dave Rosenthal (former MIT/Sun/nVidia not archivist guy) and I talked a bit about gesture control when the first MEMS accelerometers came out. They allowed for a wide range of controls but they drifted horribly so it wasn't possible to do a sort of "hold for fast forward" kind of motion. You had to have a move to start and a move to end.
To some extent this is the same problem as the Leap which can know where your fingers are but you can't hold a gesture and move your hand (afaict, I've not seen the LEAP SDK in action yet)

#4This was the video that Popular Science featured :http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=o...

#5This could really be something else. I signed up and am #777 in line. I'm assuming this will be more worth the wait than Mailbox - and probably delivered about the same time.

#6This is really interesting. Looking to see what is created by developers through their API. So much potential, interesting to see which large co. will come knocking to acquire them.

#7This post is not getting the attention it deserves. I think its marking the beginning of the next wave of interaction with our devices.

#8Imagine this working with Google Glass or similar.
This mode of input deserves to be used alongside other input methods such as keyboard, mouse, stylus/pen, various other sensors like gyroscope and touch screens.
No one mentioned this is a HN company?

#9Definitely interesting, but I am waiting to see actual usage and how accurate it really is
