Physical interaction design DH2400

Digits by Microsoft Research is a new technology that Microsoft has presented in the UIST 2012  (the 25th Association for Computing Machinery Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology). Basically is a device with IR sensors and accelerometers that can read your hand gestures. It seems to be like a portable and more basic version of the Kinect. This doesn't mean to be less "expressive" in terms of interaction because the exmaples presented on the video look like more useful than the ones been able to do with a Kinect.
