Things I can see Gest used for: * Minority Report-style video editing * Iron Man-style 3D modeling and design * Live DJing (DJs now literally have a reason to put their hands in the air) * Air instruments (parties will never be the same)

@gregbarbosa That sounds more like a gadget / cool factor for presentations etc, than functional, lets say, UI-design-in-Photoshop tool. Which is just as awesome, but not so much "work". You do have a small demo of Photoshop stuff in the Kickstarter video (adjusting brightness contrast, moving the logo), but I can't really "see" how it would be incorporated in a designer's workflow, which is something that would be very interesting for me. Do you have a specific plan/vision for that part? Like how would the interaction with the program itself/mouse/keyboard work other then the typing part?

@_annacates I'm actually not one of the makers of Gest; @pfista might be a better person to ask. Personally I'm always afraid of the Gorilla Arms problem when using floating devices like this. Although this looks great, I fear for long usage it might be really difficult to use continuously.

@gregbarbosa Oh, you're right of course, my bad, definitely a question for @pfista :)

@_annacates @gregbarbosa Working on that video right now, we'll be updating our Kickstarter within a week to show what the process of designing with Gest will look like!
