    It's an interesting kind of user interface, but I don't think it will be for everyone, or at least not in the next 5 years as he said.

    As a software developer, if I had to wave my arms around like that 8 hours a day I would develop arms as strong as a wrestler in only a couple of years. It's not a practical technology for office use. I can see it working for video games, but then again cost wise I'm not sure either, the cost of all those projectors also makes me think that Nintendo had a better idea with the Wii remote, just an infrared sensor and a motion sensor that you hold in your hand and you have all the spatial movement you need for less than $50.
