has anyone seen this before?  Does anyone know if it is real?

I found the link at another site.

Yep pretty interesting, never seen this, but since it's pre-order i guess it wants to become real.
Need to see how efficient it is when it will be out.

Yup.. real.. this is a logical extension of the game technology but looking at hand-finger pointing to supplant mouse moves or touch screen sensors.

I am still waiting for the back projection video glasses, with a camera to grab hand movements wrt those projected virtual images... then we can finally control a PA console by squeezing the performers head between thumb and forefinger, as we face the stage and point at him.

The technology is almost complete, so just a matter of connecting the dots and coding up software.  Large console control surfaces could eventually become obsolete (probably long after I'm worm food).

Let's just banish reality altogether and be done with it.
