Hasn't Kinect already done that ? Or is it able to capture the movement of fingers precisely?

Kinect is designed for gaming and was hacked to do basic gesture control, this is a proper device designed from ground-up to be a computer controller.

What about the keyboard ??? Is it an onscreen keyboard ??

kinect is not accurate device and this is superb device which can detect all 10 fingers really cool
