Very nice. I wish we could see the actual UI to get a better sense of how it works - can you post a screenshot?

If you paired this with a Kinect or similar multi-camera system you could allow the other hand to interact with the the model/model elements (when not busy doing extravagant gestures of course). Pretty amazing no matter how you slice it, nice job!

I don't have the final assets with me, but here's an old image of the help menu: http://imgur.com/yWzI4,h5cwO

And the ui: http://imgur.com/yWzI4,h5cwO#1

The ui is pretty simple for now. Gyro controls orbit, one finger controls pan, and zoom is on a scroll on the side. A lot of this is ported over from the iPad version.

I have been using this for a project at work - simply as a remote keyboard & mouse for multiple PCs/Macs in the same room. Could you add arrow keys to the keyboard?
You've been using which?
Maide.
It looks stunning.

It hadn't occurred to me that phones could be used as sophisticated remote controllers. What technology do you use for real-time communication?

cool
that's amazing.
