My current favourite use of gesture control is the Peek option for the glance screen in WP8 [1]. I find it sits in a nice spot where it allows crude interaction with the device when you dont want to commit to fully interacting with it. Similarly with the xbox one gesture controls - I use them as a last resort when I dont want to commit to making full use of the device; such as when I am sitting on the sofa and want to change it to watching TV and all other controls are out of range.

Also, sorry for being off-topic, but as someone from New Zealand I find the name to be slightly confusing. Is there any connection to NZ, the fruit or the bird? I'm not complaining, just sounds odd to me.
