Idiot. This patent was filed long before Natal was unveiled. Try again.

Apple. Giving clerks and patent lawyers pointless busy work since 1977.

Eventually the mouse and other physical means of working with your computer will be replaced with something better. It should be no surprise that both Apple and Microsoft are working at this.

Feeling defensive much?Geesh, let it go man. Isn't it possible that Apple's ideas are also borrowed from other sources?Unless Apple's patent is more than 10 years old I think that Minority Report has them beat.

I have noticed a few negative people here, for one I could see this being very useful, especially manipulating with 3d objects, or people that are paralyzed from the neck down.

I agree, move hand 1/2 inch but if I can do a hand signal to my Mac from across the room and have it turn off the volume or change song, that would kick ass.
