kind of interesting where things are going

I love the general idea, but the practical application must be a monumental task.

The issue is not so much in having cameras see what you are doing (that is relatively easy and has been done by many companies), but in understanding that what you are doing has a very specific meaning which applies something to something else. Either you have a huge library of objects which take on a specific meaning which limits what can be done, or else every time you make a presentation you will have to program new meanings to each and every object used.

Still, very cool, and a well done application in their video!

Was a "bullshit" button.
Also, as others have said, it is impressive.
