Intellect Motion has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for its iMotion advanced motion-control device that makes you feel like you’re using your hand in a virtual space. The device started life in the medical world, but Intellect Motion is adapting it for use in motion-sensing video games with touch feedback.

You can hold the controller in your hand and wave it in front of a webcam to use it like a mouse. It’s sort of like the Tom Cruise gesture-control computer in the film Minority Report.
