Some common criticism on e.g. Jeff Han's gesturing interface is that it is also tiresome and more prone to bodily injures. I'm sure you heard the stories about the incidents with the Wii's first wrist controls, which were too loose and thus flew off when enthusiastic gamers got carried away. The Wii is certainly a trendsetter and I'm very curious if its bodily gestures are also refined enough to be used for developing web interfaces, and in what ways it may be able to enhance usability, accessibility and immersion.
