    i feel like at this point it should be utterly trivial to mount a camera on the ceiling and be able to control things with gestures, like pointing at the computer with the thumb out and rotating the hand to raise and lower volume

    the fact that nothing even remotely like this is available is why people don’t think technology is fun any more

      It’s actually because trial after trial and market research has shown that the vast majority of people don’t want to wave their hands around just to control their electronics.

      Not to mention the privacy aspect of allowing full body motion capture in our homes.
