Hi Kathy-
Is there any chance of hearing a little bit more about your intended uses
for these technologies? Do you have a specific project in mind, or are you
researching more for the future?
I ask because much of this stuff is fairly open ended right now and there
are a lot of good possible solutions either on the market or soon to be on
the market- especially in the "gesture" interface realm of multi-touch
screens, video walls, motion tracking, etc...
I will say this, however: I've never seen a visitor put their shoe through a
trackball.
