Next time I need to change cubes with chinese characters from clear to red or rearrange alphabet letters with a friend, this will be a viable option.

I always find it unsettling when I see demos of "new user interface technology" that involves people performing tasks that seem primarily designed to look visually impressive and only secondarily (if at all) are related to a task someone would actually want to accomplish.

Show me how this can help me work faster. I'm currently unconvinced that this system is superior to a mouse + keyboard. I'm not even convinced that the demo tasks couldn't have been completed just as easily using keyboard shortcuts and a mouse.

That technology may look perfectly adapted in movies (eg. Minority Report) and concept demos, but I'm utterly unconvinced it would be much practical for real-world usage.

For one thing, it seems like you'll have to learn lots of complex gestures if you want to accomplish something nontrivial. You'll run out of simple, intuitive, distingishable gestures really fast.

Neat. But I can hardly hold a wiimote up for a half-hour. I work on computers 8 hours a day. I do not want to hold my hands up and wave at them for 8 hours!

Most people start with their hands out in front, then settle down to a shoot-from-the-hip pose that's much more comfortable.

Jesus Christ, I need to drop out of hs. Tech is just passing me by.

isn't there a copyright/trademark infringement on the name? i.e. for that "The Oblong's" show?

Copyright isn't for names, and trademarks usually only apply in one industry.
