I'm interested in what you're offering at that price point, but it would much more helpful if we can have more information about it (like a blog or something detailing the tools you're promoting, some how tos etc).
Having said that, there's an article on phoronix.com about using kinect devices with Qt toolkit on Linux (Maemo); http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTEyODY The Qt Air Cursor is LGPL licensed and built atop the OpenNI library and OpenCV. Code for Qt Air Cursor can be found here; https://github.com/nemein/Qt_AirCursor I imagine that if you can develop that using Qt toolkit, it would be cross platform and can be maintained using just a single source, if done properly.
