Valid point, will do.
I was able to play with this when the founder came to Berkeley. There is some really cool tech behind this, and I was astounded at the accuracy when I tried it out. I'd encourage you to try it out.
I'm really excited for the Grooveshark integration- been waiting almost six months for this. Great job guys! Look forward to an SDK sometime down the road too so we can hook it up to our own apps.
Really cool! Would love to learn the computer vision techniques behind it. (I know N. Dalal is one of the founders---is it all based on HOGs?)
It would be awesome if we could bind gestures to shortcuts, I'd love to use this with KMPlayer, Clementine etc.
We will have API/SDK at some point next year. We will begin signing-up folks early next year for it.
Awesome! Looking forward. Please do charge something for it

Any plans for Linux support? Does the Windows 7 executable work well under Wine?
Yes, there is but will be quite hard as with Linux we always have to worry about webcam drivers as they will be very diff. We are looking into this as well.
Says - it is not supported for your processor architecture.
Same here. Windows 8 /w AMD Phenom II
Yes, we are aware of it. Some AMD and some old Mac processors run behind on some processor libraries we use. We are working to enable them and make it backwards compatible.
This is cool but dont most laptop come with media keys?
I take that back. This is actualy very useful!
Is it difficult to support gestures for up/down volume?
We've been working in it. Besides gesture we also have to get speed and few other nuances right. We will release 4 more gestures in Jan/Feb timeframe.
nice one, with webcam; impressed! similar to Kinect, but it does not need any spl device
