#8 With this, except for the "available information on their site" part, I disagree... and I will tell you why... =)
First, "rip off" would suggest it is the same level of technology, or lower... while it is actually higher. While kinect captures low-precision movements in an "ambiguous" space which are then transfered to dimensions of your screen, this device is meant to capture high-precision movements in an allocated space (screen).
Second, it is not non-existent per se, it is in development. From consumer's point of view it does not exist, but from developer's point of view it may very well be fully functional. If you do some extra research, you might find it is already near completed.
Last, yes, you can think of it as giving $70 for something that is not out there just yet... but isn't that the spirit of "pre-orders"? Also, this pre-order has an advantage to it (or a disadvantage, is the glass half-full or half-empty?): You can think of it as a gamble. You're giving $70 for a product that is yet to be released => its price is still speculative, and it's yet to be tested by the public. Now, this product may come out, and be completely worthless, which would result in both the price and company going down... BUT if it turns out to be everything they are promising, then the price is likely to go up... I wouldn't be shocked by $100 - $500, in which case, you would have saved some, if not a lot of, money... There, if you want to make an informed choice (or a bet), you can contact them and ask for specifica their site doesn't have (I'm planning to do so), or you can just hover over their blog and wait for something of value...
Great day, everyone! =)
