I have a similar setup (external monitor with the Macbook lid closed) But in my case (and possibly for other Macbook users with the same setup), closing the lid makes the webcam inaccessible as well.
Ha, that's a rather obvious thought that didn't even occur to me. I have a Logitech webcam on my external monitor, too, though, so it wouldn't be a problem. :-)
Maybe if I primarily used a laptop directly, I'd have a different opinion, but having played with alternative input devices (e.g. Bluetooth remote control), I really like having a unified method of muting all my media, and in a familiar form factor. Since holding my hand up seems very natural and familiar to me, I imagine that I'd like this hand-recognition system.
Hi Guys, we just hated using our keyboards and mouse to control music. Especially, when it's in the background or when we're few feet away. We're just in alpha and launched one gesture - we hope to add many more soon. Thanks for your kind comments and feedback!
