This seems a lot like a simple application of Leap Motion

https://www.leapmotion.com

maybe just providing 2d data is much easier to digest for apps.

Will wait for a review before putting money down - there are a lot of unused Leap Motion devices out there, I'm going to be cautious in future.

Absolutely, although I was surprised it was available at only $75! Looking forward to see some reviews especially for Linux.

For somebody who hasn't messed with a Leap, what was the problem with them?

I didn't try it at length, but it just wasn't as good as it sounded - not as accurate and the API was very difficult to work with.

I want this but I also wanted the leap motion and got burnt bad. This does seem objectively more useful though. When old mate turns the device towards the projector screen and used it as a touch screen was awesome.

I love how most of the PC's in this video are macs, but they are all running windows.

So presumably they have multitouch trackpads with no good drivers available.

Man, screw using that for multitouch. Going to use it as a depth camera. Been looking for a kinect-like device that I can mount on a quadcopter.

hand waving is tiring. this isnt multitouch.

What problem does this solve again? In the video you see a man doing some complicated hand gesture to put his laptop to sleep. I normally just close the lid of mine.
