However, it’s likely a lot of people will love the idea and learn to pick it up straight away, it’s no doubt impressive. If you’ve already used your mouse and keyboard to check your Twitter, do a post on Facebook, flick through your emails and open up your DAW, surely the use of a mouse and keyboard is a lot more effective than the gesture control aspect. I like the dock because it lowers the cable count a bit - the spaghetti gets pretty hairy pretty quickly with all of the connections going. While there may be 'better' stuff out there, I can say that it does work and is fine for basic tracking. But it just seems like more of a novelty rather than something practical and useful. I have an iPad Air, Focusrite iTrack dock, and some mics (and headphones, monitors, and cabling). No doubt it’s a step forward for the future of music production and it does open up a lot of doors for interactivity between the user and the software. In the way that you’d be trying to press something on your iPhone but it’s so small that you keep hitting the wrong thing.

I could understand the use of this technology within games as a recreational aspect but in terms of more intricate software like DAWs such as Cubase and software like Final Cut Pro, I could see the whole gesture controller element being quite messy and frustrating. Now personally, the whole idea of waving your hands around in front of your computer screen seems a bit absurd, I have read something previously about the use of sonic pulses being used in phones to control apps and games in a similar way.
