    is the human race seriously getting so lazy that we cant push a mouse around and click buttons? we have to have the most simplist things handsfree; phones, games, cars that park themselves, and now computers. dont get me wrong i think the technology is beautiful but i think it could be used in better feilds than our homes, like in the military. just "think" one person could control a small robot with that controller under a hat. there wouldnt be any bulky controlers giving him away to an enemy. im not sure on the limits of this device, but the applications seem pretty limitless, why drop it in a house where some lazy person is only gonna play yahoo pool with it? it should be put to better use first.
