70$, forget kinekt. hope developers will also build real time 3d scanning apps for this like they did for the kinekt

David...
put you hands like the guy in the video does... giggle your fingers like this for 1 hour. and tell me where it hurts the most..
nice.. but that would be terribly painful for long uses.. but I guess for public demo screens that'd be cool..

Sculpting in 3d with something like this would be cool. I don't know about precise modelling though, maybe would be fun for a while.
3D scans should be easy.
The price is a game-changer.

Holding my arm up in front of my screen for hours a day seems... less than optimal. It's a nice little gimmick though.

But the response time is impressive. No lag at all.

long travel is a serious issue.. i notice that the A5 wide wacom i use is about the max size i can work on without fatigue.
but i'd guess this should work in small scale too.. like holding a PS-controller without controller, or like typing but with the palms pointing at each other.

the speed is really impressive! ..and the price too
to hold your hands up in front of the screen the whole day surely is not very comfortable... but it seems to be very precise on small moves too, so maybe it is possible to scan only the hand movement while the arm rests on the table - a tablet without tablet. Or turn a normal monitor into a touch screen. The only problem would be the pressure sensitivity...
i think i'll buy one
