Take a look at the following link. This guy is using a Wii remote to track finger movement in space. A very cool little hack that has some neat possibilities.

This guy is quite the geek.....

Very nice. There have been posts in the past about using the Wiimote with standard applications, but this is an interesting take on things.

Hes right though, It wouldnt be very good for productivity of day to day continual use, but that doesnt mean that it wouldnt have applications.

Of course, it would be more efficient and probably more accurate to do away with the reflection, and have gloves with bluetooth transmitters, and built in sensors to determine flex of fingers, and spatial position.
