it would get really aggravating, because you'd start scrolling up and down really fast and wouldn't be able to see anything. unless you're a girl, in which case everything would go around in a circle, haha.

Well, I tried to simulate the experience by swinging my hand up, as if I was increasing the volume. Accidentally, I hit my desk lamp.

Okay, maybe there IS a use for it.
Virtual hand jobs for all!
Even though this isn't real (yet?) but I don't see Star Trek people waving their hands like that.
It's our most intuitive, magical, and revolutionary user interface...we like to call it AirGesture©.

this is useless for an ipad but could be interesting with the apple tv, of course with a larger range so you can control your device from your sofa.
So... is this what you do when you lose the remote?
You may or may not already know this... or even care.That was the first thing that came to my mind. Using the iPad in-car.
I always wanted to have a "carputer", long before the iPad was announced. Lately, I was thinking about getting an iPad and a vehicle-mount for it, but I was a little worried that I would have to hit a "small" interface element just to skip to the next track.
If they can make this gadget work, they'll have my money.
Now at the consumer level, probably less practical use.
Could see it being handy if I was using an electronic cookbook in the kitchen and I didn't want to get all sorts of juice, oils or syrups all over my iPad. Swiping to scroll down without touching might be nice.
Maybe at the gym, keep my sweaty fingers off the device as well...

To all those saying "pointless," remember that early technology rarely resembles the final product.
Who looked at the early multi-touch examples 5 years ago (on large, heavy screens) and envisioned the iPad? Steve did.
My guess? Face and eye tracking on iPads and iPhones.
