I see. So PrimeSense is the hardware that Microsoft employed for the Kinect
sensor. Right? Does the code work with a Kinect sensor from Microsoft?

For this to be employed in a Molecular Playground operation it needs to be:
a) upside down
b) behind the participant
Does that work?
What I'd like to do -- with your assistance -- is create a few files in
org.jmol.multitouch that allows this to be used within the applet or Jmol
application directly. Please take a look at what we did with SparshUI. Note
that the SparshUI driver (which only works on an HP TouchSmart computer) is
a far simpler driver and so it requires substantially more gesture
processing. The point here is that Jmol already has quite nice support for
multitouch. I think we just need to tap into that.
