No no, Apple is the only company on earth the innovates.

BTW, hey Engadget, the video is not working.

Of course, that would be the next step. This seems like a proof of concept before you invest the money into something like that.]]>May 23rd 2010 10:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/The real benefit of having it be in the visible spectrum is that then it works with webcams that are out NOW, rather than in a few years. The hardware is capable, and the software looks very close to being ready (at least the basic tracking software).
I really hope that they're either open sourcing it or are lining up licensees, because all you need now is someone to develop a UI around it, and this could be in operating systems within the next few years (which, in that case, they could start putting slightly more capable webcams into every computer before the software's ready). Or it could be in Linux distros a lot sooner if it's open sourced.]]>May 23rd 2010 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/May 23rd 2010 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/May 23rd 2010 10:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/May 23rd 2010 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/May 23rd 2010 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/May 23rd 2010 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/May 23rd 2010 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/May 24th 2010 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/May 23rd 2010 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/23/mit-researchers-develop-the-most-fabulous-gesture-control-techni/

While I can see this tech being used in a scholarly or industrial environment. I can't see any business marketing a system where people have to put on gloves to play games.
