I wonder if it will replace wrist RSI with a neck pain.
But this is an interesting and relatively simple idea. A
variety of uses and related ideas come to mind. Probably not
too hard to implement with a gumstix and a camera.... And
may be even build a multi-input device by tracking multiple
dots of different colors.
But what I really want are these multi-touch devices. Check
these links to see the kind of things one can do!

The first link requires a quicktime plugin. The other two
flashplayer plugin for youtube videos.
