    not so handy now, but will be neat in laptops when this type of tech can get integrated. This would be a good replacement to a true touch screen for those of us with older monitors, or people who have large monitors in general.

    I wonder how this, kinnect PC (if they ever come out with a non-Dev version), and leap motion will all stack up against each-other.

    I have to agree, Leap Motion looks better and is also really well priced. (Not sure what the pricing on Intel's version will be like though)
