I'd like to know if standard Apple Software works with this device ?

I've only seen the videos and didn't realise I'd be tested on my knowledge  :P

The device must, 'emulate(copy)', a keyboard, mouse, or graphics tablet. (Input device)
If there's something your mouse or keyboard can do with the software your using, zoom in/out for example,
this device could do the same by picking up your hand movements.

The writing on screen is more complex, the software on the computer would have to be geared up to accept this type of input.
It looks amazing, but to Joe Bloggs, not worth £50. He won't be able to use it on a daily basis without specialist software.

IMHO of course  ;)
Hope you get my drift.

I'm guessing any software would be bundled with the device. But I don't know for sure.

Possibly not worth £50 to Joe Bloggs who uses a computer as a simple tool. But considering a decent night out with your partner would start at £50, I don't think it is price prohibitive to someone who is fond of new technology and gadgets.

IMHO of course.  :)

Couple that to a Raspberry Pi, have your entire DVD collection connected by XDMCVDBC or whatever it's called  ;)

Now you have a gadget, move your film catalogue around on screen, stream them to any room in the house, theatre etc

And never touch the screen, just move your arms, fingers  O0

Wasn't pulling it down. But no use to Joe Bloggs, it needs specific software to be usefull  :-X

Not got XDMCVDBC  yet - is it worth the money? ;)

Knowing my luck, if I did wire the house for DVDs as you described, every time me and 'er had a row, it would keep changing the movie we were watching...  :-[
