wow, a few nice pratical uses shown but still more interesting to see the kinda crazy scienceworks type fun you can have with that (btw, scienceworks is a museum of sorts in melbourne)

That is awesome. I love how you can resize images by spreading apart two index fingers [:)].

I know touchscreens and things like augmented reality (the use of feedback from cameras, like Eye toy for example) is based on old ideas and tech, but darnit, I wish things like the above would catch on.

I reckon something like from Minority Report where your hand signals are detected would be better than touchscreen [:)]

I would avoid that technology so as not to look like Tom Cruise.

I like it ... that's the kind of thing that can be used for any number of practical purposes, but ALSO be something that could keep people entertained for hours when they've had a few too many :)

I am certainly going to look forward to the next wave of "Sex-u-Tainment" games made for it....... Did I say that out loud?

they actually created something similar to that... or atleast they made an effort to. I remember reading about it anyway, anyone got the link?

Sorceror Bob, you've just ruined it for me forever.

Edit: I can't spell.

Amazing how easy it was to animate a character by grabbing the parts with your hands and physically moving it. I guess there would be pretty big potential there to revolutionise workflow. Maybe one day this kind of thing could make creating a large amount of game assets for next gen games more efficient and affordable. I can sure imagine how this sort of thing would improve workflow in a 3D app.

Though not sure about the Sex-u-Tainment stuff..
