Title: This thing is awesome

I would be very curious on real world usage stats for this thing once/if it goes live.  Also I wonder if it would have the dexterity and sensitivity function as a keyboard.  Think of it this way.  You could use any keyboard (not plugged in) simply as a prop and you type with these arm bands on and all keystrokes register on screen. 

Thoughts on this tech?

LOL giving a presentation - some of the guys I work with wave their arms around so much we'd get dizzy from the slides flashing back and forth :))

In one of the videos they show that you can set up a gesture to temporarily disable it.

I like this. The first thing I thought of was combining it with the Rift. Looks like they thought of that already (and obviously so). I can't wait for all these goodies!!
