Manipulate Digital Objects with Hands

On the back end of Haptic devices and Multi-touch displays I ran across this article and video this morning that demonstrates another possible way to manipulate computers with your hands. 

As more and more possibilities present themselves for physically manipulating data on a computer, the more and more it will become mainstream.  I really like this option because, as it says in the video, all you would need would be a USB camera device and software.  This is potentially much more affordable than Haptic devices (although they are getting super cheap too) and certainly more affordable than a multi-touch display.
