I'd like to see more development on this, it's far from finished but at least it shows it can be done. I'm interested in seeing how I can incorporate it into my next carputer. Navigating the system with the wave of a hand is better than having to look for a button while driving. I'd never have to reach for the touch screen again
When your running a custom application to do only a few certain things it can work great. Mine does with the software I'm using. But running Windows OS and multiple applications it's doesn't work that well. Windows and all applications need to optimized for touch screen use.
