A couple things I’d have to know before I say yay or nay.
1) Whats the distance you have to be from the screen for it to register? If you have to be close to the screen (less than 4 feet) I don’t think it will catch on. It’ll have the same issues as a touch screen. I think it would get old every time you want to swipe or virtually click something on the screen if you have to move from your natural comfortable position. This is what I think could make Kinect for the PC (or something similar) better. If you can sit back in your chair as if you’re using a mouse and execute gestures from that position, then I think it would be a usable technology.
2) Since its using ultrasounds control can anything within a house or business interrupt it?

Interesting technology but it probably wouldn’t work very well if there is much background sound, like say music playing.
this can be the news of the day. But will this technology be as interesting as it sounds?
