Nope, not gonna catch on once people realize how annoying it is to hold your hands up all the time.

I just pre-ordered. This will bring new change to the fapping industry FOREVER.

I'll let you know in 6 mos. if it's any good :/

For my dissertation this year (which I hand in next Friday! Time flies), I've been investigating the use of the Microsoft Kinect in the development of a gesture-based interface. I've built a program that uses the Kinect to find your hand, track it, and then recognise the gesture you perform.

Two words: Gorilla. Arm. I had to run a series of tests to see how it compares with other gesture-based inputs (programs using a webcam, for example), and five minutes into each test, my arm was killing me.

I think motion detection will work a lot better when we can make the gestures more general or when they are imitating the actual gesture you are doing. Like the shooting a gun, wtf.
