Nice. Especially the fusion.
Some random-ish thoughts from exploring "a laptop keyboard... with hand pose, 3D stylus, and touch". Adding buttons yields a 3D mouse - but camera coverage can be a pain. Note the body is largely empty (and battery could be slimmed) - I could more-or-less type while holding a slim chopstick/toothbrush-like stylus (even with the markers, and a weirdly big tip). A big tip (sliced from a ping-pong ball sized xmas decoration) could slide fairly smoothly on a ThinkPad keyboard (and gave room for a less compact force sensor, and an extra tip marker). Thin stranded silicone ribbon cable can be string-like flexible - I just tethered the stylus to an arduino to get started.
Hmm... I wonder what the inertial sensor might make of something like a dimpled metal clicker, as a button (or three)?
