Exactly. If "going ahead and making it" was the only barrier, why didn't it exist yet?

Well, technically it exists. http://robbietilton.com/blog/?p=1589 https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~adam/airharp/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLqLmvL75B0

Robert Tiltons application is almost everything Musk seems to have done, except the lack of interfacing with CAD software (for example gesture based modification).

The other 2 links are, whilst only tangentially related, really cool, so I thought I'd post them as well.

So really, the question isn't "Why didn't it exist yet?" it's "Why was Elon's system featured on thenextweb, and Roberts wasn't?"
