Thanks. It's pretty interesting that it's done without a camera and framegrabber.

i think if these guys aren't the entrepreneurial types someone needs to contact them and find out if this could be produced for cheap (just a laser pointer and sensor I imagine). this could be a really cool toy. pong with your hands, make the cat freak out etc.

Air hockey might be a cool idea too.

Very cool. Now I want to think of useful applications of the technology (beyond toys). Again, very cool.
