Minority report, anyone?

Well,

Spoiler

Some of the SOE's core ideas are already familiar from the film Minority Report, whose characters performed forensic analysis using massive, gesturally driven displays. The similarity is no coincidence: one of Oblong's founders served as science advisor to Minority Report and based the design of those scenes directly on his earlier work at MIT.

That explains why

Forgive me if I'm missing something, but it seems to me like this could be accomplished with a couple wiimotes?

I think it's their gloves, because of the different movements and actions to interact with the system, things like the "finger-gun" as your selection tool?

Yes. Me, vibbles and alex wrote a system using three wiimotes for multi point finger tracking last year.

I'm still yet to see an amazingly useful application apart from "woooo i can throw screens around on a massive projector system"

Exactly what I was thinking
