I think this will make the mouse and keyboard obsolete first...
Well not really, yes it's a neat party trick as is Kinect / Move / Wii flail, but the basic motion control problems stay:
- it is slow
- no physical feedback
- waving your arms in midair (after an hour of that it will feel like you are carrying two bears around, now imagine using it for several hours each day...)
- next to a mouse also highly imprecise

No doubt these things will find their place, but there is no equivalent to keyboard and mouse yet.
