air typing lol like it's that good a tech and even if it was that would crap but funny for 2 seconds oh well forget I said it

There was a tech demo showing that actually, can't imagine it working well unless they were capable of matching the "air keyboard" to how you touch type. I suppose if you air touch typed two letters, it could standardise the air keyboard to that in theory...yeah I don't have any idea if that could even work

it kinda works with a flat surface and a projected keyboard, but typing in the air 5ft or whatever away from the camera, it would need some crazy precision and it would need to learn how the user types etc and map those movements to keys then just read those movements. But whether it would work more than 50% of the time would be up in the air.  all the variables like how far away their hands were, how far apart they were and what angle they were at would make it difficult and that is assuming that Natal can track individual finger movements etc.
