I'd like to see a "Yes, Do It" confirmation pattern as well as an immediate "STOP!" over-ride command.

It's built on Kinect, so I presume face and voice recognition will also be included at some point.

What interests me (though it's not going in the script), is the emergence of a culture-wide gesture language. I doubt that this Finnish effort will be the basis for it, but a common gestural interface with 'machines' seems inevitable.

Problem is the two guys gesturing at each other within camera range and the system following their "commands."

That way madness lies.
