Oh I think it may be useful for non fine motor tasks, just not drawing,
sculpting, and similar tasks. And you do have to touch the iphone to
manipulate, therefore feedback, or is there an app I don' t know about
that allows the same without touching the screen (:/?
You make some good point about the state of the art in gesture
manipulation. Shooting in the dark but I think maybe it's safe to say
we'll have a market viable brainwave application manipulator before a
hand gesture solution.

Tactile feedback for 80 bucks might be a long way to come :).
There was a pressure based feedback piece at Siggraph this year that
was interesting, but while pulse feedback (bursts of air pressure) is
relatively easy and cheap to come up with, a continued feedback like
the feeling of manipulating something solid, or even a high density
fluid, in free space has a ton of conceptual unsolved problems (hands
interference for one, one hand in front of another on the line of
emission alone would send the feedback to the back of one hand instead
of the fingers of the other).
Wouldn't hold my breath for that.
I think it shortsighted to ignore gesture feedback as irrelevant
without force feedback though. The iPhone proved that much a few years
ago :p

Neat. I'm all for improving the interface between user and app but
as a modeler, sculptor and texture artist I can see myself getting
some serious hand fatigue with this. There needs to be some
feedback to be of any long term use.

When you look at how easy it is to produce controlled and
interesting frequencies with your hand (things such as a beat,
accel/decel etc.) an 80 bucks device that can sample 10 sources
accurately at 200hz is very, very far from useless :)
Yes, fatigue onset would make it a silly thing to orbit the
camera with for 8-12 hrs a day, but it's not like that's all you
need to do is it? Surely there are things you only have to do a
few minutes every hour or more that could use a sampling like that.
Currently we have some things that translate well through
hardware interfaces, and some things that translate poorly, or
not at all. Additional input for something as natural as gestures
is definitely something animators want, they probably just don't
know they do quite yet.
I know I've discussed this with some (animators) 10 years ago and
a precise, cheap, on-desk hand capture device was a wet dream.
When one comes out, everybody goes luddite?! Curse you animators!
BTW writing something to use these devices, when they have a good
SDK, is actually very, very easy. The data acquisition side of
things is never a problem if the SDK is good.

leap thing may look cool.. for first coupe minutes.. let me
see you holding your hands up in the air for longer than 15
minutes alone.. not to mention couple hours...
completely useless waste of time and money if you ask me
