look at the second video.  Really shows how it can be used effectively.

makes me wonder if you could use it for any arcade type situations.   Missile command with which finger is which button?

Very cool.  I'm sure you could do some great things with it, and it does seem like a great way to interact with PCs generally (I ditched my mice years ago and use a graphics tablet exclusively, and it's kinda the next logical step from there).

They estimate a $1000 retail price though - ouch.
