    I hope its never painted black. I dont look forward to reading the stories of little kids who pulled it out in front of the wrong person and got shot for it.

    I'll only be impressed if they will randomly light themselves on fire as I cook.

    Hmmm. I wonder where he got the idea of a gripping hand motion on webcam. Seems I have seen this someplace before.....

    Well, I guess that's what you get "air typing" with a gesture controlled computer.

    @jzh797s: Yes, HTPCs are the only thing I see this catching on for in the near term, but see my quote above regarding full room coverage and people who "talk with their hands"...

    yeah, ok, but how are you gonna watch porn? I mean, your screen would be going crazy.


    Unless there is a "masturbation mode". Then right on.

    Cool idea but I'm not digging the massive delay.. and I'm not sure I could live without tactile feedback.

    @Zodduska: Yeah it would be kinda cool for multimedia crap or REALLY casually browsing the web, but I think they are really reaching with Crysis, the delay in that flight sim was unbelievable!


    I'm also wondering what kind of range that camera has, could you mount it on a tv and use it from anywhere in the room, and what if someone who "talked with their hands" came over? Would their gestures constantly be screwing with your HTPC's controls?


    Color me far from convinced.
