Project-Natal-Style Interface For Mobile Phones

An anonymous reader writes "The University of Tokyo is developing a Project-Natal-style interface for mobile phones, which allows you to interact with a phone by waving your finger around. Members of the Ishikawa-Komuro Lab have used a high-frame-rate camera to track the motion of a finger and recognise input gestures. The touchless interface can be used to navigate around a phone's screen and even to type."

Re:Wow, that's stupid

Why is this stupid? This is just a cool demonstration of the results of research done at a University. You just lack creativity and imagination to see any use for this. The applications for these types of technologies are not yet explored, so I'm sure we might see some really cool applications for this.
