One minor criticism: is there a reason that the scanning capability is so tightly integrated with the controlling capability? Specifically, since it seems like the input is done through the plate at the bottom, I don't see a reason to have the input device projected: this means that the user can't see the input device when it's shadowed by their hands. I'd rather see a touchscreen there. It might make sense, though, if gestures are intended to occur in the air above the plate rather than by touching it. On the other hand, the 3d scanning capability, and having it in the same workspace as your input devices, looks really awesome.
