I am expecting mine over the next few weeks. Can't wait to try it out. The real interest is in turning any existing computer into a hands-free device, which opens it up to a large consumer base for new and innovative applications. The article and the demos suggest a few interesting applications, such as virtual crafting (coupled with 3D printing could change the arts&craft education) or surgery. I am thinking there are other business applications, such as remote controled machinery such as mining equipment or crane operation in remote places. Opportunity to transform those industries looks positive but there still is a number of components that are required to make this a reality. But we are one step closer.
nov2015 update: I played with it a few times but now the device gathers dust in a closet. I found controlling the device to be difficult and the apps to be relatively useless. However I've seen youtube videos of designers and music composers that are doing phenomenal things with this. I guess I'm just not in the right field to need this kind of device. I remains a pretty mind blowing device nevertheless!
