SoundWave: New Gestural Interface using inaudable sound waves

Microsoft's latest technology allows users to control their computers via gestures that are evaluated based on sound. It requires a microphone and speaker to work, as the SoundWave system emits a constant inaudible tone that is altered by hand movements in front of the computer.

Is this technology redundant due to their own Kinect technology or do we believe in it just for the sake of research itself?

Softkinect

In November 2009, Belgian Spin-off Optrima and Softkinetic SA announced a strategic joint venture to introduce the Softkinetic–Optrima solution. This is the most complete 3D depth-sensing imaging and gesture recognition interface solution on the market and competes with Microsofts Kinect device. In contrary with the Kinect DepthSense uses a 3D time-of-flight (TOF) images. A company and technology to keep an eye on!
