For what it's worth, the performance improved quite a bit with subsequent firmware updates. It was quite a remarkable device that impressed anyone I let try it, but finding a mass-market use-case proved impossible. They tried to pivot to VR, but it was very late. I think going after the consumer market (with an app store to be filled with games) was a mistake. Easy to say in hindsight, of course.

> the performance improved quite a bit with subsequent firmware updates. But it didn't improve enough to be useful for anything practical. The most useful thing I could make it do reliably was detect swiping your hand left and right. I was really hoping I could use it as a mouse replacement on laptops, but accurately tracking individual finger placement never materialized.
