Do you even bother read what you're furiously googling up? The interface requires gloves, but besides that the how is important, because the way each company is going about it has different strengths, weaknesses, and challenges to overcome. You'd know that if you did any sort of due diligence before dismissing the previous research simply because it came from your hated company MS.
See, MS went with Primesense's tech instead of 3DV because it's cheap. We already see that because they're mass producing kinect. The interesting applications will be in the specialized industries - military, medical, and even education. I was just thinking about Primesense being Isreali and on a hunch it found that the company is headed by a former military analyst. The implications of his work are obvious - automated security, sentry guns, deployable sensors - all likely due to the needs of Isreali security. Kinect is just the cheap civilian version of the tech, but as time goes on it will be refined. I suspect the US military is already looking at this to see where it will go.
