It’s almost impossible to navigate menus accurately and the sensitivity seems to vary from twitchy to requiring extravagant gestures to make it do anything. I think the biggest flaw is that it tracks your hand position rather than responding to gestures, makes it hard to get precision. If it worked more like multitouch on phones it would be a lot less frustrating.

Nevertheless, this is awesome technology, a great first attempt and we’ll be seeing a lot more like this in the near future.
