Yep, strange times we're living in.

Just think about using these instead of the old-school light switches. Control everything with gestures.

@hek You getting one :-)

I have one of these...pre ordered and all. back in 2013. I tried to use it but the software was pretty bad and very cpu intensive....so it went back in the box.

I had ideas of mounting it in the kitchen upside down under the top cupboards so you could control a PC without a keyboard or mouse ( think swiping an online recipe with food covered fingers...never got there...

That said I have been meaning to get it out and have a fresh look at it. Im sure the software is loads better now and some cooler apps.

@hek - you will want a rack of pc's if you were to use these as light switch replacements!

Ouch... Thought it had some image analysis going on in the unit itself.

Also had the pleasure to play with one of these, very cool to play with, their software is bogus by the way,

We have to wait for the standalone version. :)
