Adv Projects in Computer Music

I am guessing some of you have seen the website for the "Project: Air Guitar", but if not, here is some light reading:

The authors discuss gesture recognition and musical style. It seems like a pretty cool, though  somewhat kitschy project to me. I bet it would have made waves at the Cal-IT2 opening.
