Some possible use cases: * Put one or two of these on your hands and use them to modulate a sound - everything could be your theremin. * Maybe you're an urban explorer and you're afraid of hitting your head on a low ceiling - attach it to your head and you'll get a 'beep' when you're about to hit the roof.

Its not nearly as useless as it looks. if you can get it to detect from a long range (i'm not sure it can) then it can change font size or zoom in any program according to distance, keeping it constant. As Daniel said, volume could work with this too. It could automatically log on/wake up/un-screensaver(is there a word for this?) as you approached your computer, welcome voices ("Hello Master Joshua"), and anything else you could think of.

Just replace that text with a stream of tweets or something else you want to follow, then you can see it comfortably from anywhere in the room. If you need to see more content, just come have a closer look at it. Comfortably browsing at the desk or sitting on a couch 10 feet away. I would like that very much.
